Something to pay close attention to, regardless of how you feel about the item in question. The legal implications are... unsettling, if allowed to stand.

https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/bump-stocks

To understand the context, you must understand that the ATF previously ruled Bumpstocks are not machineguns. They "changed their minds" under pressure from the head of the DOJ, who was directly asked/ordered by the president to change the classification. In other words, the executive branch pressured the DOJ into effectively changing the law. No congressional oversight. Legislation by fiat, if I may say so. There are already several lawsuits in progress, but the simple attempt is very disturbing to me.
