Published January 7, 2023
In a 13-3 decision, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans held that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), acting under “tremendous” public pressure, short-circuited the legislative process by approving a rule to define bump stocks as “machineguns,” which are heavily restricted. The court said ATF did not have the authority from Congress to do so.

Yep. Good thing the courts stepped up to protect gun owners from Trump’s executive overreach.

I guessed I missed the gun ban part of his MAGA platform.

“Bumpstock ban has been overruled. They are now legal.”

Only if you live in 5th Circuit state: Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas. 6th, 10th, and DC have upheld it, so until the Supreme Court decides to give final word, legality depends on location (which is absurd).
