Categorizing bump stocks as machineguns means BATFE violated 922(o) machinegun ban when Obama admin ruled them legal. Now 922(o) is at serious risk of judicial review; _Heller_ said M16 ban was unconstitutional, with a smart lawyer M16s will be legalized.”

So the President’s action is one move in a legal chess game.

If you think this is some kind of 4d chess by Trump you’re off your rocker.

Heller did not hold banning of M16s is unconstitutional, and nothing that happens here is going to change that.
