If it goes up on appeal, it can become binding across the states in that circuit, but it won't become binding across the nation until the SCOTUS rules on it.Right now, even if the rulings prohibited the ATF from enforcing the bump stock ban nationwide, that's not sufficient for a business to run the risk of producing bump stocks--this is still early in the process and those rulings could be overturned on appeal, leaving them way up the proverbial creek if they had started up production. They may also not be located within the jurisdiction of the courts that made the rulings, so the ban could still be in force where they are.There are also pesky things like patents and trademarks that could prevent the market from being flooded.</blockquote>
