I was never interested in bump fire stocks.

I wonder, is it a slippery slope to have the ATF ban the item, or is it a slippery slope to have congress do it?

If the ATF does it, it seems it makes it so that we are at the mercy of the current "personality" of the ATF, and they are not accountable to us.

If Congress does it, it will surely have a lot of "pork" on it and could reach further than just bump fire stocks.

In my opinion, bump fire stocks will be made illegal in such a way that those that own them will have to give them up. I also believe they will go after arm braces while they are at it, and removing suppressors from the controlled list will never make it to the floor and is dead.
