I thought some Freepers might be interested in oral arguments on Wednesday in the bump stock ban case. So, I'm cuing up a thread for Freeper discussion.

The above article is from Reason. Another article is available at Scotusblog:

Bump-stock ban comes before Supreme Court

Once again, because of what *one* person did, everybody else gets punished.

I understand this is not about bump stocks.

It is about the power of the regulatory state.
The life long deep state commies using the power to define and redefine words to scuttle the will of the people. Congress has abdicated their “law making” responsibility and must be forced to take it up once gain.

When power is in the hands of those who don't stand for election, then the system is broken.

Ah yes, one of Trump’s attacks on the 2nd Amendment opening the door to BATF’s ability to determine gun law ignoring Congress, the Constitution and precedent.

Did you know Trump did more in “gun control” than Obama?

The Biden administration's SCOTUS brief in support of Trump's bump stock ban is out.

This footnote is the telling part:

ATF’s regulation and our opening brief inadvertently misstated the number of classification letters between 2008 and 2017 in which ATF had concluded that certain bump-stock devices did not enable a firearm to fire “automatically” and thus did not convert weapons into machineguns. See Gov’t Br. 8 (citing 83 Fed. Reg. at 66,517). Respondent correctly observes (Br. 7, 21) that the record includes 15 such classification letters.

Oops. We got it wrong 15 times before Trump set everyone straight about what the law actually says.

This is the best amicus brief at dispelling that notion IMO:

Brief amici curiae of Second Amendment Law Center, Second Amendment Defense and Education Coalition, Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois, California Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc., and Guns Save Life filed.

My view is that TeamR is ready to accept Trump's interpretation because Trump and TeamD will accept anything gungrabby, including Trump grabbing power they know he did not have, and both sides should be ashamed.
