DOJ/ATF RIN: 1140-AA52 Publication ID: Spring 2018 
Title: ●Bump-Stock-Type Devices 
Abstract:

The Department of Justice anticipates issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would interpret the statutory definition of machinegun in the National Firearms Act of 1934 and Gun Control Act of 1968 to clarify whether certain devices, commonly known as bump-fire stocks, fall within that definition.   Before doing so, the Department needed to gather information and comments from the public and industry regarding the scope of the market for these devices.  This ANPRM was intended to gather relevant information that is otherwise not readily available to ATF regarding the scope and nature of the market for such bump-stock devices.
