Slide Fire bump stocks turn a standard semi-auto into a full-auto simulation using recoil to rapid fire
Slide Fire, which could not be reached by phone on Wednesday morning, dominates the bump stocks market. At the moment, however, shoppers can still purchase bump stocks from Slide Fire and on firearms resale websites such as Gun Broker. This came in conjunction with a flood of efforts, both legislative and regulatory, to ban the stocks and a host of other trigger devices at the federal, local and state level.
According to Slide Fire, located in Moran, about 40 miles east of Abilene, at midnight CST on Sunday, May 20, 2018, the company will cease orders and the website will no longer exist.
More than 50 people were killed in the Las Vegas shooting, which was the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history. The company did not say on its website what will happen to its factory in Texas.
Soon after the shooting, which claimed 58 lives, congressional leaders considered regulating or banning bump stocks. Slide Fire would occasionally run out of inventory and suspend sales, and then eventually start selling them again.
The country's biggest bump stock manufacturer has chose to stop taking orders - and will be shutting down its website for good next month.

Even the National Rifle Association at the time said "devices created to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations".
Slide Fire and bump stocks were heavily criticized past year after it was found that gunman Stephen Paddock used one to alter his AR-15 assault rifle to fire up to 800 rounds per minute at the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest country music festival last October, killing 58 and injuring more than 500.
"Bump stocks should not be available for sale to the general public, and they should never have been allowed to be sold", said Brady Center co-president Avery Gardiner, in a statement.
The decision is likely to face court challenges from gun owners who may argue that only Congress has the authority to outlaw bump stocks.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the gun industry group, declined to comment.
