A federal appeals court has revived a legal challenge to the Trump administration's ban on firearm bump stocks.
The devices attached to semiautomatic firearms so that a shooter can fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull.
A panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld the ban in December.
But the full court ordered a re-hearing Thursday.
Three other circuit appeals courts have upheld the ban.
The Supreme Court has been asked to take up the issue.
The ban was instituted in 2019 after a sniper in Las Vegas used a bump stock in the 2017 massacre of dozens of concertgoers.
