Bumpstock comment period and FOIA about bumpstocks and LV
eelstrebor1:
I did it. I submitted my comments to the ATF even though I don't believe that it'll make much difference. We still have over a month to see what happens with this.
RobertH:
on May 9th, David Hogg posted about the bump stock comment period. looks like the anti's are posting comments now as well. if you haven't, get it done now! plus, there's a lot of "I support the 2A, but....." as well. we must step up our game!
RobertH:
attach these photos if you comment. they are recent determinations, etc.
borrowed/stolen from an arfcom post.
also in 2017....
Case No. 3:16-cv-243-RLY-MPB
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA
On July 27, 2017 DOJ/ATF stated:
"Bump firing is the process of using the recoil of a semiautomatic firearm to fire in rapid succession, simulating the effect of an automatic firearm when performed with a high level of skill and precision by the shooter....The rapid fire sequence in bump firing is contingent on shooter input, rather than mechanical input, and thus can not shoot automatically"
On Sept 13, 2017 DOJ/ATF stated:
"Because of the manual, skill based methods required to operate a bump fire device" they are not machineguns.

Someone should forward these to the Lincoln city council.

That's how I commented to the ATF and that's my understanding of how a bump stock functions. Good to see that we're on the same page. I probably could have wrote it better but I hope they see the logic. Looks like my comment got posted.
