The Fifth Circuit just ruled (13-3) to strike down the Trump-Era decision.

"A plain reading of the statutory language, paired with close consideration of the mechanics of a semi-automatic firearm, reveals that a bump stock is excluded from the technical definition of ‘machinegun’ set forth in the Gun Control Act and National Firearms Act,” Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod wrote in the lead majority opinion."
 
The decision doesn't have an immediate effect on the ban though because the case now moves back to the lower court to decide how to proceed.

Theater.
