Re: BATFE: Bump-Stock-Type Devices: Notice of proposed rulemaking
Fox news reported that the final bump stock law is in effect and there is a 90 days window to get rid of the devices. They must be destroyed or turned in to your local ATF office.

Re: BATFE: Bump-Stock-Type Devices: Notice of proposed rulemaking
From the final rule:
"The rule will amend 27 CFR 447.11, 478.11, and 479.11 to clarify that bump-stock-type devices are machineguns as defined by the NFA and GCA because such devices allow a shooter of a semiautomatic firearm to initiate a continuous firing cycle with a single pull of the trigger. Specifically, these devices convert an otherwise semiautomatic firearm into a machinegun by functioning as a self-acting or self-regulating mechanism that harnesses the recoil energy of the semiautomatic firearm in a manner that allows the trigger to reset and continue firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter."
This is incorrect. The trigger is pulled with every round fired. The trigger finger engages the trigger each and every time.

"Under the new rule, bump stock owners would be required to destroy or surrender the devices to authorities. Members of the public will be given 90 days to turn in or otherwise discard their bump stocks"
Here we go with a cabinet department making a lawful activity a felony with a new rule.
