Bump stock ban is finalized, banned from sale and 90 days to surrender [View all]

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/11/28/politics/final-bump-stock-ban/index.html

By executive order and with no compensation offered, I am wondering if this is intentional to try and set up a quick Supreme Court ruling overturn a lot of existing laws now that they have their right wing majority firmly in place on the SCOTUS.
