The Supreme Court ruled Friday that a ban on bump stocks — attachments that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more quickly — implemented by President Donald Trump in 2017 was unconstitutional.
In a 6-3 ruling, the court found that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had overstepped its authority by classifying bump stocks as illegal machine guns.
“We conclude that semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock is not a ‘machinegun’ [sic],” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the majority, “because it does not fire more than one shot ‘by a single function of the trigger.'”
“Even if a semiautomatic rifle with a bump stock could fire more than one shot ‘by a single function of the trigger,'” Thomas went on, “it would not do so ‘automatically.'”

Sanity prevails.
Wow!
It only took seven years!
Supreme Court overturns DEMOCRAT ban on bump stocks. FIFY
The BATFags will just ignore the ruling. “How many divisions does the SCOTUS have?”
Are you calling Trump a Democrat? The Trump administration did this. I remember it well.
My AR can finally come out of the closet!
“Today, I am directing the Department of Justice to dedicate all available resources to complete the review of the comments received, and, as expeditiously as possible, to propose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns.”
Trump also supported red flag laws which are contrary to the Second Amendment:
“We must make sure that those judged to pose a grave risk to public safety do not have access to firearms and that, if they do, those firearms can be taken by rapid due process," *** "That is why I have called for red flag laws, also known as extreme risk protection orders." Trump, August 5, 2019
I have binary triggers on several of my firearms. One with both a brace and a binary trigger.
I think he has learned. That was his Manhattan side.
Nice try at attempting to rewrite history.
“Presidential Memorandum on the Application of the Definition of Machinegun to “Bump Fire” Stocks and Other Similar Devices” Issued on: February 20, 2018 by Trump
I’ve never tried one of those triggers. I’ll check them out. I’m gonna break out my SlideFire this afternoon and bust some caps for old times’ sake.
I remember the video of him suggesting banning all sorts of firearms. Was an early indication that he would eventually participate in COVID shutdowns.
We desperately need to close down illegal, destructive agencies like aeeeteeef. The employees can be reassigned to constitutional duties like helping guard the border.
Second, we need a thorough reform of judicial processes. An obviously unconstitutional regulation or law should be overruled within 7 days and NOT TAKE 7 damned Years to clean off the books! That’s 7 years deprivation of American citizens’ liberty. “Justice delayed is justice denied.”Gladstone
The sneaky bastards of Bidens ATF worded the bump stocks rule to mean EVERY firearm with a pistol grip to be used as a rifle.
This would ban AR15’s (and that entire center-fire, grip family), pistol grips on shotguns as well as the conversion kits as implied.
“It would not do so ‘automatically.’”
I can’t wrap my head around this. What?!
Manhattan side? That’s a new one. Is that the same side that caused him to donate thousands of dollars to Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Andrew Cuomo?
“Is that the same side that caused him to donate thousands of dollars to Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Andrew Cuomo?”
Yes. If he wanted to do business in New York City, he had to buy off the right people, as he said.
Don’t be a fool. The Swamp was rogue during DJT’s term. Just look at Brix’s admission that she openly defied and then reversed all DJT’s decisions on the vax. And, the Joint Chief’s admission that he consulted with CCP.
That something happened does not mean everyone standing around was culpable.
