Are Bump Stocks Still Available???

For now they are. A proposed rule to ban them was sent to the OMB last week for review. After the review period, it will be made available for public comment, then they will be banned. The proposal will be to make it illegal to manufacture, import, or possess a bump stock.
 
Unsurprisingly, a year after the Route 91 Harvest Festival the party in control of the White House, both chambers of Congress, the Nevada Governor, and the Nevada Attorney General has done nothing.

They needed to provide time for everybody who wants one to buy and time for manufacturers to deplete stocks.

Problem with that is that anyone that owns a bump stock once the ban goes into effect is legally required to destroy it.

not really, they could be grandfathered and require a stamp like an actual MG
form what i read they will be classified as a machine gun, so the stamp seems the way it may go

lol that will be a cold day in hell. im not destroying mine period. I will not let some feel good law interfere with my rights nor my very enjoyable hobby that hurts nobody. All because of some nut job used a bumpstock? fuck that and fuck them.
 
I'm not sure why the NRA would support bump stocks, since it goes against their own lessons of trigger discipline and 'aim first, shoot after'.

Of course, this is assuming that the NRA still does firearm training. Nowadays, it just seems like they are a wing of the Republican party.

who said the nra supports them?

FAIRFAX, VA) - The National Rifle Association today issued the following statement:

"In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can be prevented. Unfortunately, the first response from some politicians has been to call for more gun control. Banning guns from law-abiding Americans based on the criminal act of a madman will do nothing to prevent future attacks. This is a fact that has been proven time and again in countries across the world. In Las Vegas, reports indicate that certain devices were used to modify the firearms involved. Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations. In an increasingly dangerous world, the NRA remains focused on our mission: strengthening Americans' Second Amendment freedom to defend themselves, their families and their communities. To that end, on behalf of our five million members across the country, we urge Congress to pass National Right-to-Carry reciprocity, which will allow law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families from acts of violence."

What? You’re asking if they are still available because that video exists? It’s meaningless. That video went up really soon after the talk of banning them had started, so of course they were still available. I was already a subscriber since it’s a tech channel (not a gun channel).

Edit: OK, I guess it’s that other link that prompted this.

ATF's proposed ban, published March 29, would treat bump fire stocks as machine guns regulated under the National Firearms Act of 1934. "Current possessors of these devices would be required to surrender them, destroy them, or otherwise render them permanently inoperable upon the effective date of the final rule," the ATF's announcement says.
