Frequently Asked Questions

What was the Supreme Court's decision regarding the ATF's bump stock rule?

The Supreme Court denied certiorari, refusing to review the McCuchin v. US case. This means the Fifth Circuit's ruling, which rejected the plaintiffs' Fifth Amendment claims regarding the Takings Clause, stands.

Why did the ATF reclassify bump stocks as machine guns?

Following an incident in Las Vegas, then-President Trump ordered the ATF to change its regulatory definition of machine guns. This reclassification made bump stocks subject to the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA).

What are the legal implications of the ATF's bump stock rule?

The rule requires owners to destroy or surrender bump stocks, with non-compliance punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Legal challenges, like McCuchin v. US, argue this constitutes an unlawful taking of private property without just compensation.

Is the Cargill case related to the ATF's bump stock rule?

Yes, the Cargill case is still pending review at the Fifth Circuit level. It presents a more comprehensive challenge to the ATF's bump stock rule than the McCuchin case, which focused primarily on the Takings Clause.
