On April 28, the complaint says, federal agents searched Kimpton's residence and a storage unit. Among the items seized were five bump stocks, according to the complaint -- devices that allow a semiautomatic weapon to be fired continuously. Officials noted that it is against the law to use such a device, which reclassifies a firearm as a machine gun in violation of federal law.

the article doesn't say he had a machine gun, just claims he was charged with possession .

cnn is really confusing .... all their  articles on gun issues lack fairness/accuracy

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Our illustrious leader Orangemanbad  decreed bumpstocks illegal,  so the guy is toast.
