Im from the UK with very minimal exposure to weapons - and the example being a functional ban. But I think you’re saying that bump stocks aren’t essential as other stocks exist whereas a barrel is a barrel?
You could have the AR-15 legal as a functioning weapon. But make requirements such as fixed stock and 16" barrel. Such requirements would make the rifle more life a semi automatic hunting rifle instead of a tactical assault weapon.
Here in Norway you can acquire an AR-15 kind of rifle with many modifications. But the requirement is and active membership in dedicated shooting club. There are also requirements for activity in the club. If you want a regular rifle you can take a short course required for all hunters and buy the rifle after applying for a permit to the police.
I think that’s fair as you regulate what kind of weapon people with different interests can have.
