So it seems that the 10th Circuit is changing their mind (sorta). Earlier, a 3 Judge Panel ruled 2 to 1 that the ATF was OK to apply Chevron to bumpstocks and unilaterally declare that bumpstands are machine guns and always were. Well, the 10th Circuit just "Vacated" their ruling, opening the door to their reexamining the case.
So, basically, they're going to be re-examing the whole thing. They might make the same decision again and uphold the Chevron Deference but they might not. The fact that the vacated the original ruling seems, to some, to imply their desire to reverse the ruling, but we just don't know. This re-examination was, to be honest, expected. And, of course, regardless of which direction this goes, it's expected to be appealed to SCOTUS (who may or may not agree to hear it).
But the whole bumpstock issue is not dead yet.
