We still have people who need educated.
What I would like to know is the background on the
BTAF allowing this device.

Yes, being educated on the subject is key.
SlideFire does not at all not fit the definition of an automatic weapon. With the SlideFire installed, for every single discharge the trigger still must be pressed. That has been explained more than once in this thread.
The SlideFire stock has no automatically functioning mechanical parts or springs and performs no automatic mechanical function when installed. The ATF found it to simply be a firearm part and not regulated as a firearm by the GCA or NFA.
As far as background... here is the ATF letter of June 2010 on the subject.
