The Obama administration didn't "legalize" bump stocks - they were already being sold. The Obama-era ATF decided in 2010 that bump stocks did not come under their regulatory authority. The Trump-era ATF said the same thing in 2017.

Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns.
