If there is a ban on automatic assault weapons, why are bump stocks legal? After all, they essentially modify a weapon to fire much the same as a fully automatic assault weapon.

Because under the AFT in 2010 (under BHO) made them legal.

Hmmm.

I don't see their logic. If they're going to ban automatic assault weapons, it only makes sense to ban that which can essentially turn a weapon into an automatic assault weapon.

I'm sure they had a reason. I just don't see it.
