Utah gun lobbyist loses his appeal to block the ban on bump stocks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Utah gun lobbyist Clark Aposhian lost his latest bid to temporarily block the Trump administration’s ban on the gun accessory known as bump stocks, but his attorneys have promised that they’ll continue fighting the case.

Gun owners last year were supposed to give up or destroy the accessory — which makes a semi-automatic weapon fire in quick bursts like a machine gun — after the federal government banned them in response to the mass shooting in Las Vegas, where 58 died. It was the most deadly mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Aposhian filed a lawsuit last January challenging the bump stock ban, arguing that outlawing the shooting accessory was unconstitutional because it amounts to the executive branch rewriting laws, a job reserved for Congress.

He had asked a Utah federal judge to press pause on the ban while his lawsuit played out, but she ruled he did not show “a substantial likelihood of success” on the merits of his lawsuit.
