Vincent La Iacona Doesn't it violate the ex post facto clause of the Constitution? They can ban the manufacture perhaps (only because the courts set the precedent with regards to the 2nd Amendment). But banning an item obtained legally would be a different violation.

Jennifer Jurado It should in theory. I see the Constitution being stepped on a lot lately.

Dan Bongard No, it doesn't. The ex post facto issue arises when you are charged with something that wasn't a crime when you did it.

Charging someone with *having bought* a bump-stock would violate ex post facto. Charging them with posession wouldn't, because theystill possess the bump stock now.

The law SHOULD violate the 10th amendment, since Congress has no Constitutional authority to ban sale of anything... but that ship sailed long ago.
