Bump stock

Bump stocks or bump fire stocks are gun stocks that can be used to assist in bump firing, the act of using the recoil of a semi-automatic firearm to fire ammunition cartridges in rapid succession.

The legality of bump stocks in the United States came under question^[1]^[2]^[3] following the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, in which 60 people were killed and 869 people injured.^[4]^[5]^[6] The gunman was found to have fitted them to his weapons.^[7] Several states passed legislation restricting ownership of bump stocks following this shooting. In December 2018, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) published a rule that bump stocks constituted "machine guns", and thus were effectively illegal under federal law. A case challenging the regulation, Garland v. Cargill, is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.
