This bill would ban devices and firearm modifications that make semiautomatic guns fire faster or act like fully automatic weapons, covering bump stocks and similar attachments. It updates federal gun law definitions and adds these devices to the regulated weapons category under the National Firearms Act. Owners of already-modified firearms would need to register them within 120 days rather than surrender them.
This affects gun owners, sellers, and manufacturers who deal in bump stocks or similar devices; law enforcement, military, and government entities are exempt.
The bill would restore restrictions on bump-stock-type devices after the Supreme Court struck down the ATF's prior ban for exceeding its authority, reopening debate over federal gun regulation.
