Opinion concurring in the result filed by Circuit Judge WALLACH.

TARANTO, Circuit Judge.

The Modern Sportsman, LLC, RW Arms, Ltd., Mark Maxwell, and Michael Stewart (collectively, Modern Sportsman) sued the United States in the Court of Federal Claims (Claims Court), alleging that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives had, through promulga- tion of Bump-Stock-Type Devices, 83 Fed. Reg. 66,514 (Dec. 26, 2018) (Final Rule), taken its bump stocks in violation of the Fifth Amendment. J.A. 37–44 (Amended Complaint).

government’s motion and dismissed Modern Sportsman’s amended complaint. Modern Sportsman, LLC v. United States, 145 Fed. Cl. 575 (2019); J.A. 10 (Judgment).

Modern Sportsman timely appealed. We have jurisdic- tion under 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(3). We heard oral argument in this and a related case, McCutchen v. United States, No. 2020-1188, as the cases present materially identical issues.

See Fed. R. App. P. 3(b). For the same reasons we today affirm the Claims Court’s judgment in the McCutchen case, we affirm the Claims Court’s judgment in the present case.

The parties shall bear their own costs.
