Vermont gun owners turned in just two bump stocks ahead of the Oct. 1 date when possession of the rapid fire devices became illegal in the state.
State police began collecting the devices two weeks ago under a provision in the law that allows owners of the devices to anonymously drop them off for disposal.
State Police Spokesman Adam Silverman said that as of Tuesday only two of the devices had been turned in across the state. The bump stocks will be taken to state police headquarters in Waterbury pending destruction.
Bump stocks are devices that are attached to firearms that enable them to mimic fully automatic fire.
The Legislature passed gun restrictions earlier this year that included universal background checks, increasing the age to buy firearms and banning high-capacity magazines and bump stocks.
