This ATF Rule Was DESTROYED By 6th Circuit Court...

The Supreme Court is poised to review the ATF's ban on bump stocks, a case brought by GOA v. Garland. This legal challenge questions the ATF's reclassification of bump stocks as machine guns, a decision influenced by President Trump after the Las Vegas incident. The core issue revolves around statutory interpretation, specifically whether bump stocks meet the unambiguous definition of a machine gun under the NFA and GCA, and the proper application of legal doctrines like Chevron deference versus the rule of lenity. The outcome could significantly impact other ATF redefinitions of firearm components.

A U.S. Navy Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals ruled in United States v. Ali that bump stocks do not meet the statutory definition of a machine gun.

This decision challenges the ATF's regulatory redefinition of machine guns to include bump stocks, which took effect in 2019.
