This legislation does not simply ban "bump stocks." It states:
This is the kind of vague legislation that was passed in New York as the SAFE Act. It is nebulous and has law-abiding gun owners constantly questioning whether what they own is legal.
This kind of legislation is an open-ended dangerous farce that adds layers of ice on the slippery slope towards banning all semi-automatic firearms. After all, how do we know what device can "increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle" if there is no standard rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle? These firearms fire as fast as you can pull the trigger with your finger. Therefore, anything can be banned if it makes the rifle more comfortable, reduces the length of the trigger's reset, or lightens the pull weight of the trigger.
By the way, there is no "standard" trigger pull weight. So, jurisdictions will go nuts having fun defining "standard trigger pull weights." They'll arbitrarily assign weights that were never used in design specifications. They'll reference the crazy 12-pound pull weight that NYC forces on its police force for their Glock semi-auto pistols. They'll say, "Well...if it's good enough for the police, it should be good enough for civilians." But, that pull weight is not good. It decreases accuracy and makes follow-up shots difficult (ergo, possibly allowing errant rounds to hit unintended people).
What if someone bump-fires a rifle off of their belt loop? Well...according to the law, their belt loop is now a device that "functions to increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle." Are they going to be sentenced to 10 years in jail for wearing pants? Are belt loops going to be banned? No. But...legislators will decide that since we cannot stop people from doing these things with these guns, the only sensible thing to do is to ban the guns themselves.
This legislation is a not-so-disguised attempt to ban all semiautomatic firearms.
We should not have to stand for elected officials destroying constitutional rights with intentionally vague laws.

Sent an email to Kings office. I don't live in his district but figured it can't hurt. He is a swamp dwelling blowhard who never met a camera or microphone he didn't like.

The way the language of the bil reads makes it illegal to posess such parts or components regardless of whether one also owns a firearm that can accept such parts. You are in deep doo doo if you own zero guns but do own such parts. That would make many non gun owners guilty of illegal possession. Even many non gun owning libards. That is why it will not pass into law. Bets anyone?
