The US Supreme Court has lifted a ban bump stocks, the rapid-fire gun accessory used in America's deadliest mass shooting. 

In a decision on Friday, the court said the government did not have the right to ban the accessories.

  2. I like the Bearing Arms article better....
    I personally have no use for bump stocks but all unconstitutional laws must be removed..
    ATF slapped on their new who's a dealer enforcement BS
    Arm braces has gotten a favorable ruling in my district and probably for the rest of the country.
    Looking for a ruling in favor of 80 % lowers next...

  3. 6-3 Decision, with the Usual Suspects (Affirmative-Action Brown, Wise Latina and Kagen) in dissent.
    Wheeee! Pistol Brace Rule trashed on Thursday, Bump Stocks on Friday!
    Let the liberal caterwauling commence.

  4. That lie has been uncovered. There were multiple shooters, in multiple locations. Yet the MSM has to push the lie. Disgusting. This as Alex Jones is fighting to keep what is his after he criticized the story of , yes story of Sandy Hook affair. Get on the wrong side of TPTG and you will be destroyed. Hell look at President Trump, and his attackers using lawfare.

  5. Figures the BBC would title this article "Lifts Ban" instead of the more truthful RULED IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL which is what.

    From the ruling:
    "ATF exceeded its statutory authority by issuing a Rule that classifies a bump stock as a "machinegun" under §5845(b)," the Supreme Court said in the Garland v. Cargill case, otherwise known as the bump stock case.

    Justice Thomas wrote the opinion:

    Congress has long restricted access to "'machinegun[s],'" a category of firearms defined by the ability to "shoot, automatically more than one shot . . . by a single function of the trigger." 26 U. S. C. §5845(b); see also 18 U. S. C. §922(o). Semiautomatic firearms, which require shooters to reengage the trigger for every shot, are not machineguns. This case asks whether a bump stock—an accessory for a semiautomatic rifle that allows the shooter to rapidly reengage the trigger (and therefore achieve a high rate of fire)—converts the rifle into a "machinegun." We hold that it does not and therefore affirm.

    In any event another great day for 2A.

    P.S. It doesn't matter if you "can't hit anything with it".

  6. So, with that ruling we should also be able to own various FRT triggers.

  7. This ruling was more about the government using its bureaucracy to create bullshit laws out of thin air than it was about a useless firearm attachment.

    1. Which is why the left is pissed. It means the EPA can no longer have make up a law Fridays. You'll note the reversal of Roe v. Wade was more about states' rights than it was right to life. In the end, if Virginia decides 4th trimester abortions are legal, the feds can't stop them.
