Acting Directar

Washin?an, DE 20226

Dear Acting Directar lanes:

1 write urging the Bureau at Alcahal, Tabacce, Firearms, and Explasives ta rescind a ppraval at gun praducts which
allaw far certain semiautamatic assault rifles ta lunctian as fully autamatic when equipped with permanent ?bu mp

tire" accessaries.

Cine campany. and perhaps athers, manufactures an accessary called a Slide Fire Staci: which, when attached ta an
ar an Alisa-T, utilizes recall inertia ta fire cantinuausly. Hundreds at videas displaying shaaters using the
Slide Fire Staci: are available anline. In ane videa, a theater using a Slide Fire Sta air an an Alt-+15 ?res 1a: raunds af
ammunitian In anly eight secarids, equating ta a rate at ?re at TSD raunds per minute- This rate at ?re is
substantially higher than any rate at ?re achievable by traditianal semiautamatic means,

The Natl-anal Firearms Act at 19341 intended ta ?deprive {a criminal} at his mast tla ngeraus weapan, the
machine gun,? which is de?ned as a ?rearm which may shaat multiple cartridges with a single fu nctian al' the
trigger. The MFA generally prahibits fully autarnatic ?rearms, with the exceptlan at these registered with the
Bureau at nicahal, Tabacca, Firearms and Eaplasives These types at weapans are cansldered sa dangeraus
the awner must camplete a tharaugh backgraund check, submit ?ngerprints, and have the en dars ement tram the

Iacal chief at palice.

in a letter dated June T?h, ll] fram ta an unmentianed recipient, the ATT- states the Slide Fire Staci: "is a
?rearm part and is net regulated as a ?rearm under the Gun Central that ar the hiatianal Firearms act.? it capy af
this letter is pravid ed with every Slide Fire Stack, presumably ta reassure any wha auestl an the Iegallty

at the Slide Fire Staci: equipped assault rifle-

i believe weapahs featuring Slide Fire Stacks at similar permanent acceesaries emplaylng bump ?re mechanics
transfami an atherwise legal ?rearm late a weapan the MFA intended ta prahihit except when are early registered.

There is na denying TSEI munds per minute is a danger ta aur cammunities. Whether the rate at ?re is caused by
internal mechanical parts ar by a permanent external accessary, the lethality is the same. The refare, the
applicatian at the MFA shauld be the same. ask: the ta rescind its .iune T, 2131i}, letter and natify any and all
manufacturers af "bump fire" accessaries at such rescissian, and that the sale at these types at accessaries is

subject ta the Natianal Firearms Act.

Thank yau lar yaur attentian ta this matter, I lack farwa rd ta yaur timely resparise.

   

Sincerely,
