Well, good. I am hopeful that the Court says "If the ATF does not like the definition, then their remedy is not to rewrite the definition, but to petition their friends in Congress to change the definition."

But the Fox News reporter, sadly, is a twit misinformed,

Semi-automatic rifles with bump stocks could fire hundreds of rounds per minute, according to experts.

They were originally created to make it easier for people with disabilities to fire a gun. The device essentially replaces the gun's stock and pistol grip and causes the weapon to buck back and forth, repeatedly "bumping" the trigger against the shooter's finger.

The poor girl got bump stocks confused with pistol braces. [facepalm]

Finally. The court system is horribly slow.
