I just think about all the businesses that lost a lot of money like slide fire after the ban took place. It’s just a bunch of .gov bull****.

Status of Bump Stocks

The executive branch writes it's own law, and the judicial branch doesn't even want to look at checking it.
Nothing to see here though, just a dumb piece of plastic.

MAGA MOTHER ****ERS!
Hey, hey now. You get to vote between creepy joe, comrade sanders, and the don “No one needs a bump stock” trump. Democracy and freedom for EVEEEEERRRRYYYOOOONEEE!! REEEEEEE!!
I didn't like Obama but at least he didn't ban anything.
Yeah that's the appeal argument being heard.
That was last year. This is case closed with the SCOTUS refusing to hear the case. The Appeals court decision stands and if you own one you’re a felon. Period.
That's ONE CASE. Guides v. BATF, from the federal circuit.
There are 11 other circuits in the U.S. Court of Appeals.
SCOTUS denied cert in March of this year.
Within each circuit, there are many district courts. Only inside that one circuit must all the district courts of that circuit follow the decisions of the court of appeals in that particular circuit.
So, other people across America are free to challenge the federal governments bump stock ban and forfeiture without compensation scheme.
Other district courts outside of the federal circuit can entertain these cases and rule on the merits each one.
Any of those other federal appellate courts may review the decisions rendered at the trial court level (District Court).
It is possible that a circuit may disagree with the court of appeals from the Federal Circuit by finding a second amendment right to own bump fire stocks, or that the method that the federal government used to ban them was improper by being administrative rather than legislative, or that fair market value must be paid to the owners who gave up their property to comply with the new law.
If there is a disagreement or "split" in the Circuits of the US Court of Appeals, it is much more likely the U.S. supreme court will grant certiorari on one of those future cases.

Lane vs. Texas (U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas) is such a potential case.
That is within the 5th circuit, a fairly conservative pro gun district which was the first in the country to recognize the second amendment applies to individual citizens owning modern handguns. (But ultimately ruling that the Lautenberg amendment's ban on guns for people under a domestic violence restraining order is still constitutional).
