It's before SCOTUS. I have a feeling we are not going to like the outcome. On the upside, its not about bump stocks per se; it is about "Chevron Deference" which is one of the more egregious concepts to come out of the 1980s SCOTUS as it relates to the executive implementation of regulations. In essence, if there is "ambiguity" in a statute and the agency's construction of it is "reasonable" then the courts must defer to the agency's interpretation. We do have a SCOTUS that has expressed skepticism of the wisdom in keeping Chevron. It is truly a heinous and egregious act of judicial overreach. This "deference" is the highest court in the land abrogating lower court authority inherent in Article III of the Constitution for judicial review; which includes interpreting statutes. Its plainly unconstitutional.
This would be a good time for them to put an end to decades of abuse from the administrative state. For good reading (or if insomniac and not responsive to strong drugs) look up cases on the EPA and egregious abuse of environmental regulations enacted under Chevron Deference.
Except the ATF classification still stands and they are still illegal. https://www.jurist.org/news/2021/12/bump-stock-ban-affirmed-after-us-appeals-court-splits/
When we get back to the original Constitution, all gun laws will be overturned.
