Whatever???

You must be kind of stupid, or have advanced case of TDS.

If you noticed, those you tried to group Trump in with are not businesmen, but politicians on the take.

Trump donated to keep similar thugs from interfering with his business, since they had the power to do so.

It is like you paying your taxes to keep the IRS off your back.

I think he has learned. That was his Manhattan side.

Trump is not very knowledgeable about firearms at all, and apparently most of his advisors on the subject are ignorant as well.

if you pull the trigger on a full automatic weapon, it fires continuously till you release the trigger, or ammo runs out, a bump stock not continually shoot because the the trigger has only been pulled once, and needs the person to pull the trigger a second time, and a third time.

the bumpstock doesnt cause the gun to continually fire with the one trigger pull.

You can take the grabber out of NY but you can’t take the grabbiness out of the NY’er.

Not mentioned in all of this, companies like RW Arms, who turned over a million bucks worth of inventory for destruction.

That’s a big fifth amendment problem to me but Trump just declared their property a public nuisance and they had to hand it over, end of story.

So a bump stock influences the operator to pull the trigger himself?

Oh, I think the atf just got made obsolete. If this is the case, every thing the atf has said and done will be nullified. They’ll have no more say if the right legal team is assembled.

"And so what if it is a "machine gun"? We should be able to buy those too."

Hand held machine guns are highly overrated.

However, the Second Amendment does not contain a rate-of-fire exception to the right to keep and bear arms. There are cases in progress right now wherein the lower courts have ruled "that arms particularly suited to military use are not protected". That is entirely nonsense.

Neither the Heller decision nor the Bruen decision overturned the 1939 Miller decision. Lower courts have lied about the Miller decision for nearly a century and anti-gun Supreme Courts have permitted it. Now it is possible that the Trump Court will recognize that Miller would have been exonerated if his prosecutors had failed to demonstrate that there is no military utility to use of a short-barreled shotgun. That would have been impossible since short-barreled shotguns, known as "trench guns", had been used in World War I.

The Miller decision rejected the notion that Miller needed to be a member of a Militia in order to receive Second Amendment protection. The Miller Court noted that they were not provided evidence that short-barreled shotguns were useful to a Militia. For that reason alone, the Miller Court remanded the case back to the District Court.

Miller either died or his lawyers failed to pursue the case (I can't remember which) and the Supreme Court decision was never acted upon.

Are they allowed to sue for damages now?

SlideFire Is For Sale

... In a statement released Monday, bump stock inventor Jeremiah Cottle wrote, "While the Court's ruling on Friday is a positive development for the manufacture and sale of bump stocks, and has been long awaited, I have decided that it is time to hand the reins to someone else." ...

Not sure that's a good buy. I think Trump can just ban them again, call it an Official Act, and SCOTUS won't bother him about it.
