To the editor: This past weekend, I called Central Texas Gun Works in Austin, Texas, and spoke with an employee. He informed me that as of June 15, it is again legal to purchase a bump stock. ("The Supreme Court went out of its way to ignore common sense on bump stocks," Opinion, June 14)
The owner of that business sued to make these "accessories" legal again, saying the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) went too far in banning the sale of bump stocks. And, the Supreme Court agreed, striking down the federal regulation in 6-3 ruling.
While I was told by the employee that the store did not have any of these semiautomatic rifle enhancements in stock, I could buy one online for $350. Yes! For just $350, anyone can purchase an add-on that offers the capability to shoot 400-800 rounds per minute. That's just what our nation needs: An easier way to massacre.......

The Supreme Court issues a 6-3 decision in a case — any case. We immediately know who made up the six and who were in the three without knowing anything about the case itself.
So don't tell me the justices are not politically motivated.

Well, what do you expect from a commenter in a far lefty city in a far lefty newspaper that no one reads any longer.
The person who wrote this was feeding off a group response... expect more ‘letters’ like this to local liberal newspapers.
“We immediately know who made up the six and who were in the three without knowing anything about the case itself.”
Of course we do. The 3 communists voted against freedom and in favor of government as they always do.
People need to start asking these leftists just how may open mass graves they plan on digging? How many concentration camps for the care & custody of their political opponents they plan on& do they think that their would be no push back or resistance 🙁? Are they that stupid?
The Deep state pukes are afraid of Americans who own weapons. They should be afraid.
In 2025, American patriots go on offense.
“The Supreme Court just made it easier to massacre Americans”
I thought they reinstated Roe vs. Wade.
All that the Court did was specify whose role it was to enact these regulations. That is all.
for those of us not conversant
what is a bump stock and what does it do?
A bump stock would have been very effective against the last several tranny mass murderers.
Ever notice how the news media and politicians demonize what they want to ban.
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1982..”Plastic framed handguns that can pass through an airport metal detector!”
1985 “COP KILLER BULLETS!”
1984, they came for the rifles.
1994..When they thought they had banned “As-s-s-ault rifles they did not shut off the lights and go home. they immediately went after their next target, .50 cal single shot rifles “THAT CAN TAKE DOWN AN AIRPLANE!”
Now they are after “bump stocks.” Bet they don’t even know how they work.
They will never be satisfied till they have an unarmed population under their control.
Bump stocks are a waste of money.😃you would be better using your money on basic rifle marksmanship education & getting a good zero on your rifle😁 ! Because when things go sideways hits on target are what count! Not the noise you make shooting!
How long to purchase a compound type crossbow & night vision riflescope.properly zeroed power of a rifle & silent 😄😄😄😉 scare the squeeze out of the politicians!😆😆😆
No.
Crank triggers and lightning links are much easier to use for “spray n pray”. The Las Vegas shooter had one rifle with a bump stock on it, but the rifle he used on the crowd had a crank trigger...
... which you can make in your garage in about a half hour with things picked up from the hardware store...
Some people like to turn money into gun smoke in the fastest way possible.
“Suppressing fire” and “accuracy through volume of fire” are still very real tactics despite questionable efficacy.
Number of innocent civilians murdered by Management, Administration and individual members of the NRA:
Zero.
Can you get a bump stock for the FN M249S?
We don’t need bump stocks as long as we have legal abortions to stop “bumps.” I read an article that said 47,000 “texans” traveled to New Mexico over the past year to “massacre” their Americans with abortions.
I wonder if the LAT remembers Waco.....
