SCOTUS Declares Bump Stock Ban Invalid

Email directly from our friend Stephen Stamboulieh, the SCOTUS has finally ruled on the bump stock ban, siding with the fifth circuit.
I really, really don’t like Alito’s concurrence where he invites Congress to “act.” So apparently the SCOTUS decided the case purely on the basis of statutory law rather than constitutionality (caveat: I haven’t read the entire decision in detail).
So much for “every terrible implement of the soldier.”
This is good news today, but the shot over the bow by Alito puts any future review of the constitutionality of the NFA in question.
UPDATE: David Codrea weighs in.
UPDATE #2: It looks like I’m not the only one who noticed Alito’s opinion. Now. Watch the House and Senate do just that.
On another note, Sotomayor is no mechanical engineer: “When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote for the dissent. “A bump-stock-equipped semiautomatic rifle fires ‘automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.’ §5845(b). Because I, like Congress, call that a machinegun, I respectfully dissent.”

Suddenly I understand why the left is so confused about gender issues.

Anyone wanna bet that the Administration ignores this ruling as well as they have done with the ruling against college debt bailouts?

Sotomayor is frighteningly stupid. She isn’t fit to sell cigarettes and beer on the midnight shift at 7-11. Ketanji from Uganda is equally stupid if not worse.
These retards are supposed to be upholding your rights? LOL. You are going to have to defend your right yourself against the mercenary thugs who keep these people in office.

Yes, Sotomayor is a purely stupid person. She is breathing the good air that other people should be breathing.
