LAS VEGAS (CN) – A federal judge dismissed a class action lawsuit against bump stock manufacturer Slide Fire yesterday, finding that it couldn’t be held liable for casualties in the massacre at last year’s Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas.

U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro’s ruling defined bump stocks as a component part of the rifle, not a firearm accessory – and that means they cannot be subject to litigation.

I this youtube from The Gun Collective and was surprised I hadn't heard this.  Found the article just now.  I am not sure if this changes anything.

Does anyone know if the BATFE rule regarding bump stocks ever went into effect?

I know that Washington state banned them effective earlier this year, and you have to turn them in within the next year or so, in exchange for a payment.  The Legislature has not appropriated money for the payment, so things are kind of on hold right now, I think.

You are one lousy risk manager.
