Both the Trump-era ATF (and Trump himself) as well as the NRA supported a ban on 'Bump Stocks,' which took effect in 2018. The NSSF (the actual gun manufacturer lobby) and others, like the USCCA (the #1 concealed carry insurance provider, and responsible for most newer gun rights laws) called for a review by the ATF at the time of the 2017 Vegas shoiting as well.

Regardless of how people feel about this, I don't see the SCOTUS taking on a state/local 'bump stock' ban law, unless the law makes no provisions for the disabled. Yes, I know, a lot of people are ignorant of bump stocks and how they do not, in fact, turn semi-auto rifles into fully automatic assault rifles, but ... from a legal standpoint, there is little requirement for them ... unless someone is actually disabled. And many laws have provisions for the disabled.
