Slide Fire Solutions Files Landmark Lawsuit Against U.S. Government Over Bump Stock Ban
Innovative Action Seeks Justice for Citizens and Upholds Constitutional Property Rights
Moran, TX – Slide Fire Solutions, a pioneering firearms accessory manufacturer, has filed a groundbreaking lawsuit against the U.S. government, challenging the 2018 ban and confiscation of bump stocks under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. This bold legal move aims to hold the government accountable for depriving law-abiding citizens of personal property without just compensation, setting a powerful precedent for the defense of constitutional rights.
The 2018 bump stock ban, enacted through a reinterpretation of existing federal regulations, classified bump stocks as machine guns, effectively criminalizing ownership. Slide Fire Solutions argues that the government’s sweeping actions amounted to an uncompensated “taking” under the Fifth Amendment, violating fundamental property rights.
By bringing this case to light, Slide Fire seeks not only to address its own losses but to advocate for the rights of U.S. citizens who were forced to surrender their legally purchased accessories.
Advocating for Accountability
The lawsuit underscores the importance of protecting citizens from overreach and preserving the balance between public safety and constitutional freedoms. Slide Fire Solutions contends that this issue transcends firearms policy, touching on broader principles of due process and property rights.
“The government cannot simply bypass the Constitution to impose its will,” said a representative for Slide Fire Solutions. “This case is not just about bump stocks-it’s about standing up for the rights of millions of Americans whose property can be taken without just cause or compensation.”
Positive Implications for U.S. Citizens
If successful, the lawsuit could have significant implications:
1. Strengthening Property Rights: A favorable ruling would reinforce protections for private property under the Takings Clause, ensuring fair treatment in future regulatory actions.
2. Restoring Public Trust: Citizens would gain assurance that the government cannot arbitrarily redefine laws without accountability.
3. Setting Legal Precedent: The case could establish a framework for addressing similar overreaches in other industries, fostering fairness and transparency in regulatory practices.

Hopefully this will finally end the battle between Slide fire and the federal government which started October 2017 with Prescott ET AL v. Slide Fire Solutions. In Summary:
Following the deadliest mass shooting in American history that took place in Las Vegas at the 91 Harvest Festival, the Brady Center and Las Vegas law firm Eglet Prince filed a suit against Slide Fire Solutions, LP and other sellers, manufacturers, and marketers of bump stock devices. The lawsuit is on behalf of festival goers who suffered emotional distress as a result of the shooting and asks the defendants to pay for the costs associated with counseling and other treatment. Punitive damages are also asked for since the bump stock, evading federal law, turned a semi-automatic gun into the functional equivalent of a machine gun.
The lawsuit alleges that Slide Fire Solutions, LP was negligent in developing and marketing “bump stocks” to the general public without any reasonable restrictions, thereby subverting federal law that has highly regulated automatic fire guns for over 80 years. According to the Complaint, “this horrific assault would not and could not have occurred, with a conventional handgun, rifle, or shotgun, of the sort used by law-abiding responsible gun owners for hunting or self-defense.” The complaint goes on to allege that the damage caused to the plaintiffs, “resulted from the military-style arsenal that the defendants manufactured, marketed, and sold to the public, without any reasonable measures or safeguards.”
