North Texas company destroys 60,000 bump stocks

What a waste. They could have at least exported them.

One of the country’s largest bump stock retailers turned over its entire inventory to the government Tuesday to be destroyed.
RW Arms, which is based in Fort Worth, said it transferred about 60,000 bump stocks to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They were taken to a local facility to be shredded and recycled....

Did they recieve any compensation for this taking of property without Due Process? Using an ex post facto rule?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The poor little town of Moran, Texas- population 300 is/was the home of Slide Fire Solutions, which made the bump stocks.  I had a relative that worked for them.  Sad to see the business go, but I personally don't own a bump stock and really saw no reason for one.  It will pretty well decimate what's left of the town though....

Tragic: Every Single Bump Stock In Nation Suddenly Lost In Boating Accident
December 19th, 2018

U.S.—In a rash of tragedies all across the United States, every single bump stock in the nation was tragically lost in various boating accidents earlier this week.

Coincidentally, the bump stocks have just been banned by the Trump administration. Since all the bump stocks have been destroyed, it's now impossible for the ATF to confiscate them or fine people who did not destroy them.

"Well, I guess our job is done," an ATF representative said.  ...

They should sue for compensation. IMHO, they would likely win such a suit.
