More than a year after Stephen Paddock allegedly used a bump stock device to fatally shoot 59 people in Las Vegas, the firearm accessory is not only illegal to sell, but also to possess. Bump stock owners now either have to destroy or turn the accessory into law enforcement or risk a felony charge.
“We are faithfully following President [Donald] Trump’s leadership by making clear that bump stocks, which turn semi-automatics into machine guns, are illegal, and we will continue to take illegal guns off of our streets,” Whitaker said at the time. Some options of destruction are crushing, melting, shredding and cutting. If cut, the bump stock must be severed in accordance with diagrams provided by the ATF.
How to Turn in a Bump StockAnother option owners have to get rid of their now-illegal firearm accessory is to turn it in to local law enforcement offices. While local police departments can accept bump stock devices, they aren’t required to, so the ATF recommended owners call to check before dropping it off.

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

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.
