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. |
