Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Bump Stock Cases
AmmoLand ^ | October 5, 2022 | Dean Weingarten

On October 3, 2022, it was revealed the Supreme Court refused to review two cases challenging the rule implementing a bump stock ban put in place by the ATF at the request of President Donald Trump.

The two cases which had been appealed to the Supreme Court were distributed for conference where decisions are made to hear the case (grant a writ of certiorari) or not on September 12. Both had been rescheduled earlier in the year. Both cases were denied as of October 3, 2022.

The appeals process for the bump stock ban has ended.

The two cases were: Aposhian v. Garland and Gun Owners of America v. Garland.

The Aposhian case was in the Tenth Circuit.  The GOA case was in the Sixth Circuit.

Both cases had gone through three-judge panels at the appeals courts. The Aposhian case had lost at both. The GOA case won at the three-judge panel but was tied at the en banc panel. The GOA case then reverted to the District court decision, where the ATF had prevailed.

Both cases challenged the power of the ATF to unilaterally change federal law regarding the definition of what a machine gun is. Another part of the challenge was whether an agency could refuse to rely on the Chevron decision. The Chevron decision involved a case about whether the courts should defer to the administrative “expertise” of an agency to make decisions independent of Congressional votes.

The ATF claimed they were simply interpreting the law, as the statute allowed them to do.  That interpretation means an agency can reverse long-standing precedent of law simply because an executive asks them to do so or they decide to do so.

I’d expect the same outcome when the pistol-brace ban lawsuits come up.

I have an old VCR tape from a supreme Court case in the 1980s. It shows a dozen ways to make any semi-auto into a full auto, from grinding the hammer, gluing a piece of piano wire to the bolt face of a .22, shoe strings. He even showed a M1-Garand converted with a shoe string.

Only thing missing today is a VCR player that works!

But that also means a President could have them rescind the ban.

DACA = Deferred Action for Child Arrivals; Hussein Obama’s illegal protection for young illegal aliens.

CACA = Caca is a baby talk or slang way of saying poop.

Would that were true.

In logic, it should be reciprocal.

In real world politics, in the USA, power is used to restrict. The Media had been the one way valve on this.

If we can break the dominant power of the Media, perhaps we can un-restrict, and restore freedoms.

It may be happening...

It will be. That is why they are so desperate to retain power.

Take that VCR to a shop that converts old VCR tapes to DVD’s, and to Flash Drives! Then, REPOST IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET! Stop the Censorship! I bet Fakebook, Quora, and Twitler would censor it within 24 hours, tops.
