As we wait to see if there is a last-minute general stay on the bump-stock ban, I want to give you your options in case the stay doesn't arrive in time.
Here are your options - 1 and 2 are the safest, since the bump stocks would become contraband at midnight:
1. One of the other groups fighting the ban, the Firearms Policy Foundation, got the DC Circuit Court to apply a stay to their members only. The good news is that you can join the Firearms Policy Foundation for as little as $1 and be covered by their blanket stay.

2. Destroy the bump stock per BATFE instructions, below, and throw the remains away.
3. Turn in your bump stock to the local police for destruction. The trouble with this is that once the ban is in place, your bump stock is contraband and you could be arrested and charged, even though you are turning it in. That's probably NOT likely, but it is entirely possible. Also, the police could simply refuse to accept the bump stock.
4. Turn in your bump stock at the local BATFE office. The trouble with this is that once the ban is in place, your bump stock is contraband and you could be arrested and charged.
The results of this court action could well be a bell weather for future SCOTUS responses to anti gun bill challenges.
From the VCDL:
Wondering what proportion of bump stock owners don't know about tonight's deadline or change in legality (as determined by the BATFE by a rules change vs actual legislation), and if they're vaguely aware that they might soon be contraband, have no idea of how to properly destroy.

No surprise. Roberts is not a defender of the Constitution. He cares more about making people at his Georgetown cocktail parties happy.
Application (18A964) denied by The Chief Justice. In light of the orders issued by the Court of Appeals on March 23, 2019, and March 25, 2019, no further action is needed in response to the application.
See above post #106. You can avoid being a felon by joining FPC. The stay applies to their members. This is not legal advice.
