While it is not clear whether the bump stocks were used, or how they contributed to the carnage that resulted from the shooting, they became the focus of the mainstream media’s wrath, and Massachusetts jumped into action. Now, residents who violate the new law could spend anywhere from 18 months to life in prison.
The ban took place in the state on Feb. 1, and the new regulations gave residents the option to turn their bump stocks over to law enforcement with no repercussions—but so far, police departments in Springfield, West Springfield, Holyoke, Agawam, Granby and Ludlow have received zero bump stocks.
The Chicopee Police Department has received four bump stocks, and Officer Mike Wilk told 22News that he was actually shocked by the low response. “Four is surprising. I figured we would get a few more, but at least we got four,” Wilk said.

There are already enough laws on the books to make every person a criminal already but people just don't know it. One of these days it will be illegal to pass wind for violation of some new EPA regulation.

Why is he surprised?
I wouldn't have turned it in. Let 'em arrest me, then it'll come before the courts, and be, possibly, declared unconstitutional on the grounds of due process, or lack thereof.

They created the ban before the Parkland shooting.
Two weeks before.
So..........Might be a conspiracy there.

If they want you ID, meaning info on you, to drop it off then suspicion is warranted.

Honestly, only about 4 people probably owned bump stocks. It wasn't exactly a hot item until the MSM started promoting them after the LV shooting.
From the videos I've seen on YT, most people who use them say they are very clumsy and have no real value outside of being a gimmick.
