Looks like the bumpstock ban is about to become real

SCOTUS denies stay

We see which justices are really pro 2A again.

 

[jedi]

so only 2 judges wanted the stay to occur?
???

SCOTUS denies stay

Expecting federal government to keep federal government in check is nothing more than a fool's errand.

NYC vs Germany.....
Is there really a difference?

Yeah, gun laws in Germany are less restrictive.

That said, what Trump did will be easier to overturn than what would have happened otherwise.

I highly doubt the bumpstock ban will stick around after a decent legal challenge.

Firearms Policy Foundation update with instructions on how their members (protected from enforcement of the Final Rule by a stay which expires Wednesday April 10 at 5 PM EST) may surrender their bump stock(s) to their local ATF Field Office “under protest” (while supposedly maintaining their property rights until legal challenges are settled):

QFT! Fear of public opinion is weighing heavier than rule of law.

How far will it go beyond just bumpstocks?

Just dropping in to shout out a big "**** YOU" to that ******* Trump.

That's just my EDC loadout!

Huh? 277 rounds is about what I might have left over after a good range trip. A good range trip is where you decide it's about time to leave, before you run out of ammo. Sucks going home earlier than you want because you didn't bring enough.

That's one stiff penalty for a hunk of plastic... a hunk of plastic that was invented in response to gun laws already on the books.

Just reading the article, it seems the defendant has many more and deeper problems than just owning a hunk of plastic.

Assuming he'll be convicted, hopefully it gets appealed to SCOTUS. But I kinda doubt either the left or right side of the bench would rule the right way. I'm guessing 7-2 upholding a conviction and the ban.

Yes. Though I wasn't commenting on the other stuff, just the verbiage about the bump stock possession.

Yes, it's always a crap shoot when a case goes to the court. They often seem more intent on whether or not to put a stamp of ultimate approval on a law than whether it's actually constitutional.

I think for the left side of the bench, it's the outcome they want. That's how they think about cases. I think Roberts, and Kavanaugh would most likely side with the lefties on this, maybe for different reasons though. Out of Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas, I think at least two of them would dissent.
