I said the NRA was using weasel words in its announcement that it thought bump stocks should "be subject to additional regulations".
This is confirmed:
The NRA came out against Sen. Dianne Feinstein's bill, which would make
it illegal for companies and individuals to buy the firearm accessory,
and Rep. Carlos Curbelo's bipartisan bill, which would ban bump stocks.
"We oppose the gun-control legislation ... These bills are intentionally
overreaching and would ban commonly owned firearm accessories," the NRA
said. But "the ATF should review bump-fire stocks to ensure they comply
with federal law."
The NRA is saying the ATF should do something it already determined it cannot do:
But the ATF did finish a classification review of a bump stock, also
known as a slide fire, in January 2010. It concluded that the device was
a firearm part, not a machine gun, and therefore it was not regulated
under the Gun Control Act or the National Firearms Act.
The NRA is just playing games, as it always does.
