ATF Wins Bump Stock Case

(Reuters) – A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld a 2019 federal rule banning so-called “bump stocks,” a rapid-fire gun attachment that was used in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that guns equipped with bump stocks qualify as machine guns, which federal law almost entirely bans. The decision was a setback for the Sacramento, California-based non-profit Firearms Policy Coalition and other gun rights advocacy groups that had sued to challenge the rule.
My understanding is that when a case will impact every circuit court, the appeal goes to D.C. circuit.
What a shame. Never forget what happened (the executive branch literally made law in lieu of the Legislative branch doing it), where this rule came from (ATF), who recommended it (NRA), and who ordered the ATF to do it (Trump).
And to think, all of this was to cover up a running gun battle for miles and miles down main street in Las Vegas, perpetrated by someone other than the stated culprit.

The ninety day rule always applies. Ninety days after this feral false flag shitshow occurred no one remembered or cared about the real culprits, the reason for, or the consequences of this action. Prezzy Drumpt was a shill, NRA is a shill organization, and the executive branch continues to make “rules enforced as Statutory law. These types of incidents will continue until they don’t…

@J, I have to wonder what Trump is thinking about the FedGov now. He was continually duped by the National Security Complex ( in which we must include DoJ and DHS). He kept saying he was aware of the deep state yet supported, hired, promoted, and listened to them. Now, having been raided by those same agencies (s), I wonder if he’s waking up to the communist revolution that’s decades old in America.
He’s the poster boy for Republican politics: talk the talk while losing every battle. All those politicians with Rs after their names are headed to an appointment with the Leftists, in which they will be executed or sent to the gulag. Do they even know it? Perhaps they’re getting it now, maybe? I won’t miss them.

Well, when the logic that a piece of plastic sets up a sequence to fire like a full-auto. Is turned to the 30 rnd. magazine? I won’t be surprised. Their communists.
Thanks Trump! (That was him showing you that NY liberal in him is still alive and well.)

Donald J Trump is just a psuedonym for P T Barnum. No one with a functioning grey matter supports a shill that hires a group of deep state losers like Sessions, Tillersonn, Esper, Miley the fag, Kelly, Kushner, Ivanka, Prieubus, Pense, etc. etc. ad nauseum. The line of a$$holes that he hired is as long as it is deep, wake up…He’s one of them.
