The manufacture, distribution and sale of automatic firearms and their components has been stringently regulated by federal laws since 1934. We believe the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) should interpret and enforce existing laws and regulations. We call upon ATF to conduct a prompt review and evaluation of aftermarket trigger activation devices such as bump stocks to determine whether they are lawful to install and use on a firearm under the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA), or whether, if they have no function or purpose other than to convert a conventional firearm into an automatic firearm, they are regulated items under the NFA. We urge Congress to allow ATF to complete its review before considering any legislation so that any policy decisions can be informed by the facts and ATF\u2019s analysis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It appears the NSSF and SAMMI are f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/nra-we-did-not-say-ban-confiscate-bump-stocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-nssf-releases-statement-las-vegas-shooting\" title=\"BREAKING: NSSF Releases Statement on Vegas, Calls for ATF Review of Bump Stocks\">ollowing in the footsteps of the NRA<\/a>, which also called for the ATF to review bump stocks to determine whether they should be subject to additional regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The ATF has already reviewed bump stocks twice, once in June of 2010 and then again in 2012.\u00a0 On both occasions, the agency found that it was not a firearm and therefore not regulated by law, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/truth-o-meter\/statements\/2017\/oct\/06\/national-rifle-association\/nra-claim-obama-approved-bump-stocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"breaking-nssf-releases-statement-las-vegas-shooting\" title=\"BREAKING: NSSF Releases Statement on Vegas, Calls for ATF Review of Bump Stocks\">PolitiFact noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The stock has no automatically functioning mechanical parts or springs and performs no automatic mechanical function when installed,&#8221;\u00a0ATF\u2019s technology chief John Spencer wrote in a letter addressed to Slide Fire Solutions in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Accordingly, we find that the \u2018bump-stock\u2019 is a firearm part and is not regulated as a firearm under Gun Control Act or the National Firearms Act,&#8221;
