The city of Columbia, S.C., has banned the use of bump stocks, the attachment that dramatically accelerates the rate-of-fire of semi-automatic rifles. Columbia is believed to be the first, or one of the first, U.S. cities to enact such a ban.
Bump stocks allow semi-automatic rifles to fire bullets nearly as rapidly as automatic weapons The ban is meant to prevent the device's use, not its sale — a discrepancy that Columbia officials say is due to a state law that bars cities from regulating firearms or firearm components. |

December 20, 2017:
A lawsuit has been filed to stop the City of Columbia’s new ban on bump stocks and trigger cranks.
Mark Schnee, a Columbia attorney, filed the suit today, saying the ban on the gun parts is prohibited by state and federal law as well as a violation of a court order. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
