Feinstein isn't going to be the bus driver on this one. There will be weeks or months of debate on exactly what is banned. What exactly is an accelerator ? A lightweight BCG? A light Trigger with zero travel? An extra power spring?
What is an add on? Some of these lowers come standard with binary triggers.
I am an economist ....an Agricultural Economist. I worked in Washington for 1 year on the 2014 farm bill with days and months of Senate committee, sub committee meetings, hearings, briefings etc.
It had nothing to do with firearms, but it had all the same components as gun control. There was farmers, vs the EPA, vs insurance companies, vs foregin trade partners, with commodity group lobbies.
My point is, I know how Washington works, and how these things go. Feinstein will ask for the moon, the NRA will offer a small meteorite, and they will settle on a comet.
My guess is it will be a ban on external mechanical rate of fire enhancers. There will be talk of banning much more, but talk is all it will be. In the end, bump fire, slide fire, and Atkins Accelerator like products will be banned.
I'm not saying there is no chance of more, and that I'm misreading this, just that the NRA knows what will be politically palatable...and no serious firearms owners care about slide fire stocks(or at least very few). So it is a mostly painless bone they can throw to the left.
