Justice Amy Coney Barrett's swing vote may decide the outcome, as she expressed skepticism about whether bump stocks meet the federal definition of a "machinegun."

The gun store owner stated that they had no way of knowing the part would end up in the prohibited person's possession, and the purchaser is now under investigation for felony straw purchase.
