I see the "allowance" of the bumpstock as an aberration in ATF trends towards more restrictions, moving the needle barely back towards placing the citizenry in the position we were in before the harm of 1934.
The ban now will become a property rights issue with all the lawsuits since the reversal of the ATF "allowance" because the reversal does not provide any means for compensation.
If you read the ATF's directions on how to handle destruction or turn-in of your bumpstock, you'll see that there is no discussion of compensation at all, which is in violation of due process under the Constitution, specifically annotated in the Bill of Rights:
The whole debacle illustrates the fallacy of the NFA 1934, the GCA 1968, the existence of the ATF, and Federal interference in the citizenry keeping and bearing arms.
With all the lawsuits filed, it opens up the case that could potentially backfire on those who seek more restrictions on what little is left of the Second Amendment, especially when it ends up at SCOTUS and they are staring down the double barrel jeopardy of property rights and slapping down a bureaucratic Federal agency run amok for decades, without Congress being able to do a thing about it since they never have used their power to check the SCOTUS in any of our lifetimes that I can recall.
The bumpstock ban effectively presents itself as a big fist to the establishment if it boomerangs, whether anyone intended it to or not.

Quote:Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
