The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled a ban on 'bumpy boys' unconstitutional, creating a three-way split among federal courts.

This legal development is seen as paving the way for a Supreme Court challenge, which could significantly impact the interpretation of the National Firearms Act and Congress's authority to tax machine guns.
