To be clear the link in the OP is to the notice of the rule making procedure, not to the ban itself.

Emphasis added. That suggests to me that you aren't single mindedly determined to stretch it.
I am not an advocate of marijuana legalization. However, the administrative process for changing its classification seems a similar sort of administrative hyjinks. This kind of law by fiat is distasteful
in itself.

It concerns me legislatively as well. If congress gets into this very directly, do you think it will be narrowly tailored and only pertain to bump stocks? I think it would include a ban on smiling while you shoot and a ban on lead bullets unless everyone at the range is wearing a hazmat suit and ventilator (or something else only tangentially related).
Your complaint is valid. I don't have a workable solution.
