My definition of an automatic weapon is you pull the trigger and it keeps shooting.
With a bump stock it looks like you pull the trigger and it keeps shooting.
Should be banned immediately

The stocks were designed to make it easier for a person with a physical disability to fire the weapon. It was quickly realized it could simulate automatic weapon fire and so there was a question raised to the ATF. Because the stock still requires a trigger pull to occur and does not alter the mechanical operation of the firearm to make it so that is not the case, it is not against the current laws on the books.
Will that change? Possibly. The question will become how strong the lobbying effort will be in relation to that.
