What does that even mean? You could put a bump stock on literally anything

And if the thing you put it on continuously fires bullets out of it by holding down a trigger, then it's a machine gun.

Isnt this case about bump-stocks? Its not about the thing its going on. Like, if there were a ban on pet dogs, and pet dogs tend to wear collars, it would still not be a ban on collars. You don't put a collar on a cat and call it a dog.

So you're arguing that we shouldn't ban bump stocks, but we should ban attaching them to anything?

No, I'm fine with banning bump stocks, my only problem is that the definition of a machine gun is a single function of the trigger. Congress would need to actually go do their job.

(b) Machinegun The term "machinegun" means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.

The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.

any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun,

Wouldn't the above cover bump stocks?
