Basically, we are reminding the agency to uphold an almost decades-old standard.<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/heres-why-atf-approved-bump-stock-but-not-autoglove\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tell-atf-bump-stocks-not-machine-guns\" title=\"You Have Until Jan. 25 to Tell ATF, \u2018Bump Stocks Are NOT Machine Guns\u2019 - Submit Your Comment Now!\">Here\u2019s Why ATF Approved Bump Stock But Not AutoGlove<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The best explanation on why bump stocks fall outside the definition of machine guns comes courtesy of Rick Vasquez, Former Assistant Chief and Acting Chief of the ATF&#8217;s Firearms Technology Branch. In a document titled, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/4106199-Slide-Fire-Analysis.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"tell-atf-bump-stocks-not-machine-guns\" title=\"You Have Until Jan. 25 to Tell ATF, \u2018Bump Stocks Are NOT Machine Guns\u2019 - Submit Your Comment Now!\">Slide Fire Analysis<\/a>,&#8221; he wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The Slide Fire does not fire automatically with a single pull\/function of the trigger. It is designed to reciprocate back and forth from the inertia of the fired cartridge. When firing a weapon with a Slide Fire, the trigger finger sits on a shelf and the trigger is pulled into the trigger finger. Once the rifle fires the weapon, due to the push and pull action of the stock and rifle, the rifle will reciprocate sufficiently to recock and reset the trigger. It then reciprocates forward and the freshly cocked weapon fires again when the trigger strikes the finger on its forward travel.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>After lengthy analysis, ATF could not classify the slide fire as a machinegun or a machinegun conversion device, as it did not fit the definition of a machingun as stated in the GCA and NFA.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That first sentence couldn&#8217;t be more clear.\u00a0 &#8220;The Slide Fire does not fire automatically with a single pull\/function of the trigger.&#8221; While a user may be able to fire a rifle more quickly with a bump stock, it&#8217;s still one round per one trigger pull.\u00a0 There is no full auto fire. Case closed.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline to weigh in is Jan. 25.
