Quote:The administration revealed final regulatory language Tuesday, banning the devices roughly 90 days from now. Existing owners will not be compensated — they must either destroy their bump stocks or surrender them at a local ATF office. “Options for destroying the devices include melting, crushing, or shredding,” the rule advises. With plastic bump stocks, “individuals can use a hammer to break apart the devices.” A cost estimate, included with the rule, anticipates that owners will have to destroy as many as 500,000 bump-stocks, worth approximately $100 million. (The devices currently retail at prices ranging from $100 to $425.)

Quote:The federal ban on bump stocks takes effect Tuesday, more than a year after the device was used in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Anyone who owns the dangerous gadget, which is now officially designated as a “machine gun,” must immediately destroy it or turn it over.
