“to clarify that bump-stock-type devices are machineguns as defined by the NFA and GCA because such devices allow a shooter of a semiautomatic firearm to initiate a continuous firing cycle with a single pull of the trigger.”
By this logic though couldn’t some filthy lawyer proclaim that since the semi auto itself can be “readily” converted to full auto with a bump stock, it therefore should be covered by the NFA?
They did exactly that before with semi autos that fired from an item bolt.
