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.'”

Huh, I guess those bump stocks I never bothered to turn in and never planned too are legal once more. That’s nice I suppose.
Like Kamala Harris(California), Harry Reid(Nevada), Patrick Kennedy (Rhode Island) etc? Whatever…
As he a Businessman, he gave to both parties.
Come on now. I remember very well how he talked during those early press conferences on COVID. Those words were straight from his mouth, not rogue officials. Straight from his mouth.
Especially when he condemned Kemp for opening GA.
Short memories on FR.
“It would not do so ‘automatically.’”
I can’t wrap my head around this. What?!

For future reference we may need gun makers to
never incorporate AI in any gun - what too late?
And so what if it is a "machine gun"? We should be able to buy those too.
Trashing Trump when this was all BATF
Excellent!
Still think Roberts is a liberal?
Bravo.
” “That is why I have called for red flag laws, also known as extreme risk protection orders.” Trump, August 5, 2019”
Anonymous accusers.
We all know Trump put this in place. Horrible decision. I also didn’t like his tax policy that removed the deduction for state taxes. Regardless, I’m still voting for him again.
The right call.
Watching the local Miami media coverage of this.... yesterday when SCOTUS ruled in favor of baby killers, the pretend journalists declared it was a victory for “pro abortion forces.
Today, none of the media I have seen so far is saying this is a victory for 2nd Amendment advocates.
Huh. Imagine that.
So which is the bigger news story for the left media, the verdict or calling the regulation a Trump ban.
No matter, still voting MAGA. Eat your heart out.
As opposed to non-binary triggers, that can identify as other parts...
Still voting MAGA. Change my mind.
