SCOTUS Strikes Down Bumpstock Ban, Elected Officials Forget Their Job
There was a massive, collective freakout on the gun grabbers side
Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era federal ban on bump stocks
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that a “bump stock” attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a “machine gun,” which is prohibited under federal law. The 6-3 vote aligned with the conservative supermajority’s previous decisions in gun cases, such as its 2022 decision to expand gun rights.
The court found that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives overstepped its authority by enacting the ban on bump stocks when it determined that the devices were classified as machine guns. Civilians now have access to bump stocks again.
In the aftermath of the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting that killed dozens of people, the ATF issued a rule that said rifles equipped with bump stocks should fall under the legal definition of machine guns, which have been banned since 1986.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the majority opinion that a semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock does not make it a fully automatic machine gun. A machine gun is defined as a weapon that can fire more than one shot “by a single function of the trigger,” which is not the case for rifles with bump stock attachments.
In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the majority opinion would have “deadly consequences,” and said the decision complicates “the government’s efforts to keep machine guns from gunmen like the Las Vegas shooter.”
I’m no fan of bumpstocks, however, the ATF had no legislative authority to implement a ban. It doesn’t matter a whit what Sotomayor’s opinion is
Yet another reason #SCOTUS is #illegitimate and corrupt. How do the rights of bumpstock makers mean more than the safety of 360 million Americans? https://t.co/coYs1OKfKm

Your feelings are irrelevant, unless you can convince the duly elected Legislative Branch to pass a law
Do you understand what your job is as an elected federal representative?

Bump stocks were designed for mass killing – and they have no place on our streets.
By reversing the ban on these deadly devices, the Supreme Court ruled to make our neighborhoods less safe.
Democrats will never rest until the job is done to stop the scourge of gun violence.

We are either a nation of Law or a nation of Men, meaning the ATF had no authority from Congressional legislation to implement the bumpstock. Nancy, Eric, and others can actually introduce legislation. That’s their job. That’s the job they ran for, right?
