    They don’t need to ban specific parts, and in fact they shouldn’t. They could ban anything designed to accelerate rate of fire.

    I don’t think anyone is going to build a triggerless pseudo-machine gun. You could build one where, when you close the action, it fires until it’s out of ammo, but that’s not very controllable. See also: slamfire.

      That’s exactly what they should do. But SCOTUS seems to think that the bump stock cannot be banned because there is no law about bump stocks specifically.
