This resolution is a procedural measure that sets the rules for House consideration of H.R. 396, a bill that would regulate bump stocks as machine guns under federal law. Bump stocks are devices that attach to semi-automatic rifles and allow them to fire at rates similar to fully automatic weapons. The resolution streamlines the legislative process by waiving procedural objections and limiting debate to one hour, with equal time given to the majority and minority parties. It also allows one motion to recommit before final passage. The measure affects gun owners and manufacturers who currently use or sell bump stocks, as well as gun policy advocates on both sides of the debate.
