Well enjoy it while it lasts. This thing is a novelty and a great way to waste ammo but the second something like this gets used in the commission of a felony, the ATF will reclassify it and it will be illegal to own. Sorry but that is a fact and I understand these arguements very well. The anderson accelerator is what got me wanting in on the full-auto club. For those that don't know what that was, it was this thing with a spring in it and initially the ATF said those were OK too.

My whole point is this thing is nothing more than a way around the law. I don't want people to be prohibited from legally being able to purchase full-autos, I just want people to go about their ownership in a law abiding manner and don't want people that aren't or shouldn't have access to any weapon, especially a full-auto, from something like this that gets them very close. If that was the case, bump-fire devices like this unequivocally would be illegal.
