These recent types of rulings and regulations are almost always the product of knee-jerk "we have to do something" reaction. They are not well thought out and fail to address the real problems of mental health and violent criminals still obtaining firearms.
Bump Stocks, arm braces, and the recent ATF reimagining of the definition of a dealer show the decline and even loss of firearms technical knowledge and experience within ATF. In the case of the bump stocks, ATF actually reinterpreted the definition of a "machinegun" and even what "function of the trigger" meant to get those banned.
The most recent ruling on what is a dealer is extremely vague and reads like it was written by a summer intern. It will share the same fate as bump stocks.
The real lesson in all of this is Congress makes our laws, not unelected political appointees or employees.
