Re: ATF Reg Change - 'Rate Increasing Devices'

Federal Register - ATF request for information in advance of proposing a new rule.

https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2017-1 ... -27898.pdf
This ANPRM is the initial step in a regulatory process to interpret the definition of machinegun to clarify whether certain bump stock devices fall within that definition. If, in a subsequent rulemaking, the definition of machinegun under section 5845(b) is interpreted to include certain bump stock devices, ATF would then have a basis to re-examine its prior classification and rulings.

ATF "rate of fire" "enhancement" regs proposed

No doubt most here hate Farago, but the included video includes "former ATF Firearms Tech Branch Chief Rick Vasquez."
ATF Bump Fire Stock Regulation:
In the video below, former ATF Firearms Tech Branch Chief Rick Vasquez sounds the alarm on the Bureau’s soon-to-be-released bump fire stock ban. As the Military Arms Channel’s Tim Harmsen discovered, the new regs are set to outlaw “any device that enhances the rate of fire.” Say goodbye to competition triggers. It gets worse . . .
As Mr. Vasquez points out, to make this work, the ATF has to create a legally acceptable firing rate. The rate would set a common baseline across rifles and platforms, above which enhancements could not go.

The Second Amendment is appalled. Not to mention that the ATF “rules” would be an ed-run around the legislative process. And then there’s the Miculek problem . . .
Not sure a piece of constitutional text can be "appalled," but the article goes on to place blame on everyone's favorite backstabbing lobbying organization.


This kind of thing is a classic example of why people who otherwise could not care less about bump stocks have a problem with the imposition of a ban supposedly targeting them.
