Despite the looming nationwide ban, a court decision means this Utah gun enthusiast will get to keep his bump stock — at least for now

Come Tuesday, bump stock owners across the country will have to give up their firearm accessory or face the possibility of jail time and fines.

All of them, that is, except for at least one: noted Utah gun rights advocate and Utah Shooting Sports Council chairman Clark Aposhian.

A federal judge recently denied Aposhian’s attempt for an injunction that would allow him to keep his bump stock — a firearm attachment that modifies semi-automatic weapons to fire like a machine gun — until his lawsuit against Department of Justice and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) was settled.
