ATF HQ(@ATFHQ):ATF is removing the two sentences from its regulatory definitions of "machine gun" that included bump stocks. This directly implements the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Garland v. Cargill, which ruled that semiautomatic rifles with bump stocks are not machine guns under the National Firearms Act. The change aligns ATF’s regulations with the statute and the Court’s binding interpretation. Read the final rule at https://t.co/TeqmGKiRQ5. #NewEra
