General Assembly pre-filed bills cover many topics

Regarding the 5th line on that list of pre-filed bills:

HB 651 Unregistered bumpfired stocks illegal

Mary Margaret Oliver's bill says that bump fire stocks will be classified and restricted the same as machineguns, which would also mean that proper registration with ATF that satisfies the federal law will also be a defense to any prosecution under the state law.

BUT, ATF isn't planning on registering bump-fire stocks, are they?
They're planning on treating them like post-1986 machinegun conversion parts sets, which means they are NON-transferable, not registerable to regular shooters and gun collectors, and CANNOT be used to convert a semi-auto to "bump fire". Not for any stock, or weapon, not already on the NFA registry before the end of May, 1986.

So, HB 651 is currently configured as a ban on bump fire stocks, with a serious felony-level prison term as the penalty.

Makes feel so much safer, plus should really help the economy.
Dog and pony shows, that's all our government is good for.

That whole system needs revising. I know of guys whose child support payments effectively bankrupted them. They couldn't live on the breadline and make the payments.

I’ve known a few like that over the years. They were paying insane amounts of money every month.
