It used to be that machine guns were sold side by side with ARs, and at comparable prices. Now, because of the stigma associated with them being an NFA class 3 item, pretty much only rich people can afford them. So while it's not unobtainable per se, it's effectively banned for regular people who don't have a gazillion dollars. And it'll be the same with bump fire stocks if they get listed as machine gun parts or whatever the hell the ATF is unilaterally trying to do... which they shouldn't be able to, because they have no constitutional authority to do it. Not to mention that there shouldn't even be an NFA restricted list to begin with, or an ATF, or any gun control laws here in the US at all, because they all violate the 2nd amendment of the Constitution. Our government likes to wipe their collective asses with that amendment.
