The Gun Owners of America (GOA) is appealing the federal bump stock ban, taking the ATF to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The core arguments revolve around the definition of a machine gun and the concept of ex post facto law, where a new law retroactively makes previously legal actions criminal. The GOA contends that if a simple household item can turn an AR-15 into a 'machine gun,' then the danger lies with the firearm itself, not the accessory.
