Cheaper Than Dirt has no Bump/Slide Fire stocks for sale now. Midway USA has none in stock. IMHO the days for them are numbered. The question will be the extent of unintended consequences will be inflicted by those writing the legislation who have no clue about firearms, or who want to deliberately inflict additional consequences by sliding them through as part of it (one more step toward their total disarmament agenda). I do not see opposition to a ban on bump/slide fire mechanisms by members of Congress as politically defensible, especially in light of the 1986 automatic arms legislation. A congressman or senator attempting to do so with any vigor faces a Sisyphean task that could be political suicide. I hope the NRA and others with recognized and respected expertise will be able to shape any legislation proposed to prevent unintended consequences.
I expect an enormous push from the anti-gun element of the left to put high capacity magazines onto the chopping block as well. Once the can of worms for gun legislation is opened, there will be a push from the extreme end of them to do as much as possible to effectively ban all firearms and implement a nationwide confiscation to enforce it. It will become a vitriolic battle further polarizing the country into extreme political camps with no middle ground. Personally, I'm cringing at the acrimonious rancor that will ensue.
YouTube videos have already been posted with instructions for circumventing whatever bump/slide stock laws are passed without waiting for them to be banned. It's a function of click bait to maximize views and monetized channel revenue. It's a scoreboard. He who has the most subscribers and video views wins. California has been in a Mad Magazine Spy vs. Spy like war trying to prevent people from being able to change rifle magazines. Everything they come up with is eventually circumvented by gunsmiths.
