Personally, I don’t see any functional difference between a bump stock and an unregistered drop in auto sear. They both are modifications to a firearm that allow full auto fire. As a side note, at least when the ATF determined that the streetsweeper shotgun was a destructive device, you could still possess one if you registered it as a DD. Also the normal NFA $200 registration (tax) fee was not required.

Have you ever read the law? What part of it defines a bump stock? That’s pretty important to knowing what you’re talking about.
BATFE has previously ruled that bump stocks are NOT full auto because there is still a need for the trigger to be pulled each time a round is to be fired. The bump stock makes this faster than our fingers can do it, but it is NOT full auto.
