Washington's four-day bump stock buyback program was so successful state officials ran out of money.

Starting Tuesday, bump stocks are illegal in the United States. In hopes of prompting people to turn them over before the ban began, the Legislature allocated $150,000 for the buyback program, to be managed by the Washington State Patrol.Bump stock owners would get $150 for their devices -- so there was enough to buy back 1,000 devices.A bump stock devic, fit on a semiautomatic rifle to increase the firing speed.

— Trooper Will Finn March 26, 2019 "We had a number of cases that people brought in only five devices," Loftis says. But he says they may have had even more bump stocks in their possession. Authorities collected"a number of homemade devices" that fit the description of a bump stock.The devices are meant to replace the standard stock and grip of a semiautomatic rifle. They attach to a rifle's receiver, or frame.

Thanks to 'president' Trump!!

I bet they sold some at a reduced price to buy more back at a higher rate, hahahahahahahaha

That’s the kind of bankrupt I can get behind at the state level! How can I help?

It’s doesnt take a genius like AOC to figure out that a bumpstock must be able to be purchased for $20 and then get $150 for turning in. Bring 5 in and leave with $750 - made some decent money. Our government in action

Why VICE vicenews did you not report this state You reported the states that had zero turned in but chose not to report this.

They gave them enough money to buy an automatic weapon off black market.

They better ban all if the gun stuff before the so called conservative Christian Republican Nazi nationals murder all us liberals and our children.

Since it's easy to replicate a bump stock's functionality with your thumb hooked in your belt loop (Google it), looking at this ban as a measure of courage and sensibility in the control of weapons in this country is a joke.

complicated this....

Federal ban on bump stocks to take effect on TuesdayThe devices, which can make a semi-automatic rifle work like a machine gun, have come under greater scrutiny in recent years, especially after they were used by the gunman who opened fire on a crowd of concertgoers in Las Vegas, killing 58 people in 2017. So how best to report the criminals refusing to give them up? Ban “Bump n Grind” by R. Kelly next Government agencies can't make laws on their own. This is so far from constitutional.

Gun rights groups try last-ditch move to stop Trump ban on rapid-fire bump stocksUnder a federal rule, owners must destroy the devices by Monday or they could face felony charges. But...why?... It's not 'gun rights.' Inanimate objects, like concepts such as states, don't have rights. Individuals have rights. 'Gun owners rights' groups' is the appropriate way to word what you're saying. Also, bump stocks aren't 'rapid fire.' They don't fire anything. “Last ditch”... haha check out the constitution and get back to me

U.S. chief justice rejects bid to block 'bump stocks' gun banU.S. Chief Justice John Roberts rejected a bid by gun advocates to put on hold a ban by the Trump administration on 'bump stock' gun attachments. There’s a reason the ATF couldn’t ban them 10 years ago. Finally something done right! Thank you
