2. From what I saw they are not illegal under Federal law.

The bump stock case that went before the Scotus said the machine gun law is defined as as one pull of the trigger and more than one bullet comes out. Bump stocks cause the trigger to reset every time the gun fires, aka one pull of the trigger one bullet. The ATF basically agreed that the triggers meet the same definition so they are legal by fed law. In Maryland we have banned them, so they are illegal here. This case will be a waste of time. If they are going to banned federally it will have to be done by congress and lawsuits will do nothing.

And I have seen videos of them shooting, while it does look like full auto. I dont see how anyone can really afford to shoot 20 dollars of ammo in a second. So it just seems like a money to noise device with no real use. Yes I know the guy in las vagas used one, but for what he did he could have used a battery drill.
