I can't find this anywhere. Can you link to a source?
I'm curious to know the specifics like bump stocks only, or any "rapid fire devices" like clothing / ties, also is this retroactive / confiscation?

I think bump stocks and binary triggers are a waste of ammo but if they are going to become illegal, I might have to buy one. And I was saving my allowance for something else
Do I have to cut my belt loops off now?

Is there anything on Trump actually signing a ban? Or is this just an order to develop regulations?
If they are just drawing up regulations, then we will need to wait to see what this means. Are they going to ban everything that could be used for bump firing, or just a specific type of stock? How do I register a piece of plastic with the ATF? Do I get a tax stamp for it? Is it only an issue once it goes on a firearm? What will the process be for getting an NFA stamp? When is this effective? Is it retroactive? If it is retroactive, am I required to dispose of legally owned bump stocks in a specific manner or can I just toss them into a lake somewhere? Is this the end of legal shoe laces, string, belt loops, etc., or can I continue to bump fire all I want using things other than a specifically designed stock?
Enforcement will be another can of worms altogether. If this includes "all" devices that could be used to facilitate rapid fire, then how do I get Pelosi arrested when she shows up on TV wearing something that meets the definition? That might actually be fun.

Apparently stock analysts and big investors don't believe anything will actually come of this since Ruger's stock is down almost 4% today. I can also find entry level AR's for sale at just over $500 on Buds. If there is any truth to the hysteria, it hasn't led to panic buying. Yet.

Looks to be just a continuation from the Vegas shooting and he’s not seeking a specific ruling just to issue a final ruling on the issue

Look again, that memo bears today's date. You also may note the use of the word "immediately'?

The only "immediate" I see is "for immediate release". Is that what you are referring to?

It stems from the Vegas incident and looking into bumpstock legality. All this memo does is ask to finish up their review of bumpstock definition and the machine gun laws

Bump stocks or binary devices does not turn a semi-automatic to a machine gun. As machine gun (fully automatic weapon) one-press on the trigger multiple-bullets fired)
So, If Obama administration said it is legal, nothing changed to make it illegal.
2 things they can do:
1) require further checks and may require a registration and any transfer is via and FFL
2) Conclude it is not illegal to own and the only way to ban or regulate the use is via a new Federal Law
2) is more likely as such devices are accessories and it would arbitrary to regulate said devices rather than say flashlights or optics
