Floridas Bump Stock Repeal: A new chapter in the current weapon control debate

Tallahasee, Florida – The Republican legislators Florida have introduced a draft law to abolish a state law that banned Bump Fire shares. A bump share is an accessory connected to a semi-automatic rifle that remains illegal in Florida.

The devices were banned after the deadly shooting of the music festival in Las Vegas, which lived 58 people and injured more than 500.

In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court lifted the office for alcohol, tobacco, firearm and explosive and explosive ban (ATF) ban on Bump shares, which shows that Bump-shares do not correspond to the definition of a machine gun.

This meant that the Supreme Court left it to the states to decide. Lawyer Lee Locket tells First coastal news How that can be problematic.

“You can have many different states with different rules in the books regarding the legal environment with this type of device,” said Locket.

Tyler Wilman, a firearm teacher and CEO of Tactical Conceal Carry, a company that helps people First coastal news A bump share is not popular in his long -term sale of firearms.

“As an expert who trained over 18,000 people-I do full-time for a career-I think that the weapon will not make it more fatal or dangerous, there is only no evidence of this,” said Wilman.

He tells First Coast News His main concern is the right training on how to use a firearm.

“As with all rights, you know that we have to take it seriously, we have to train. Training is the biggest key. It's not that much the tool, “said Wilman.

The legislative template for the cancellation of bump fire stocks has not yet been signed and is currently being checked by the Senate of the State of Florida.
