BREAKING: 10th Circuit Grants Utah Gun Owner a Temporary Stay in Bump Stock Ban
The U.S. Court of Appeals has issued a temporary stay on a ban for one Utah gun activist who is attempting to block the new rule that outlaws a gun accessory known as a bump stock in the U.S. starting next Tuesday.
Clark Aposhian, chairman of the Utah Shooting Sports Council, argues in a lawsuit that the Department of Justice and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives violated the Constitution in prohibiting the device.
“This is obviously about bump stocks but I think it speaks to something much bigger,” Aposhian said previously. “This is about government overreach. This is about administration overreach.”
During the temporary stay, Aposhian is the only person who will be able to legally own a bump stock.
Unfortunately, the 10th Circuit only applied the stay to Aposhian personally.
