The device allows a semi-automatic rifle to work like a machine gun. One was used in the massacre of dozens of people at a concert in Los Vegas in 2017.

The Firearm Policy Foundation and others argued in court that the rule "smacks of agency abuse" but U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich said they failed to prove their case.
