Yeah the key takeaway, ATF bypassed Congress in creating their own law

Yeah the KEY takeaway is that President Trump bypassed the Congress and ordered the ATF to create a law banning bump stocks and unlike previously “banned” devices didn’t allow for a provision whereby owners could legally register them such as what happened when “Streetsweeper” shotguns were ruled as “destructive devices” by the ATF.

Granting the executive the right both to determine a criminal statute’s meaning and to enforce that same criminal statute poses a severe risk to individual liberty,

This covers a lot more than bumpstocks...

I read that as a US military court ruled.

So needless to say, it has zero impact on "civilians"...

Hasn't that already been established for civilians?

That case is working it's way through the appellate system. It's going to be heard en banc, and it will take a while...like a year or more.

It may not take it long at all. Another case gets before a Fed Judge and they shoot down the ban because of this precedence.


Have a great, gun carryin' Kenpo day
