My understanding from reading the proposed rule is that the ATF has defined the bump stock itself as a machine gun, regardless of whether it has ever been attached to what the actual dictionary would call a "firearm". I'm not sure that it would matter whether a person also happened to own other dangerous firearms, like shoelaces, rubber bands, or belt loops.

And our current President has just earned the honor of ordering the forfeiture of more guns than any President in the history of our nation. I did vote for him, and I might do so again, and I'm sure Hillary would have done the same, but facts are facts.

Your not forfeiting the guns just the stock! Return the original stock to the gun and BAM! your back to legal semiauto rifle! Dispose of the stock and maybe go fishing becareful not to lose anything in a boating accident!

Ahh, but the stock is a gun, my friend. It is not only a gun, but is in fact a "machine gun". Forfeiting a bump stock is forfeiting a gun. So sayeth the ATF.
