Re: 143 - now it’s your turn. Please provide the case(s) where the USSC refused to hear challenges to the bump stock ban.

Laying the problem at the feet of one person shows your narrow mindedness.

Oh, come on. There would be no bump stock ban if it were not for one person - President Trump. He directed Jeff Sessions to initiate a request that ultimately resulted in a bump stock being classified as a machine gun. In other words, the President used the Federal bureaucracy - some might call it the Deep State - to classify a gun part to be equivalent to a machine gun.

Can do.

Supreme Court Refuses to Hear 2 Cases on Federal Bump Stock Ban

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected two challenges to a federal regulation banning the use of bump stocks, accessories to semiautomatic weapons that allow the discharge of several bullets every time the trigger is pulled (as opposed to just one).

Supreme Court again rejects challenge to ‘bump stock’ ban 11/14/22

The Supreme Court on Monday once again declined to hear a challenge to the federal ban on “bump stock” devices that modify semi-automatic rifles to fire more rapidly.

Combined...US Supreme Court will not hear challenge to bump stock ban

The US Supreme Court Monday denied a petition for a writ of certiorari in McCutchen v. United States, a challenge to the US Supreme Court will not hear challenge to bump stock banban on gun bump stocks. Promulgated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the ban prevents anyone from possessing bump-stock-type devices, including slide-fire devices, and encourages possessors to either destroy or turn in their devices. I stand corrected.

PLEASE! Stupid comment. Lots of people want Americans disarmed
and this is just one more attempt.

We can blunt the blow from Congress, but we all know...

Like other machineguns, rifles modified with bump stocks are exceedingly dangerous; Congress prohibited the possession of such weapons for good reason.” US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar wrote in the new filing with the Supreme Court. “The decision below contradicts the best interpretation of the statute, creates an acknowledged circuit conflict, and threatens significant harm to public safety. The end of the article has some interesting factoids. Here is one... In 2018, the ATF classified the devices as machine guns under the National Firearms Act after then-President Donald Trump ordered a review of bump stocks – which were used in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting a few months prior.
The ATF being the ATF and Congress is to blame too.

...the Justice Department said...
