I wish I had paid more attention to politics back in the early 80's and bought an M16 (or some other machine gun) before the 1986 FOPA. Anyway, what are the chances that this bump stock ruling will end up in SCOTUS? I'll live without one but it sucks regardless. Not many politicians truly believe in the Constitution - we could add judges to that statement also.


--- Quote ---The decision followed a public comment period during which hundreds of thousands of responses were received, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said the change would increase public safety.
--- End quote ---

That statement could be applied to any firearm.

Mali:
Public safety is no more improved by restricting rate of fire than it would be by taking guns in the first place. This is a people problem not a hardware problem. Looking at all the shootings in the country in one year how many VERIFIABLY involved a device that "increased the rate of fire"? I am guessing far fewer than didn't involve one.
"But we have to induce panic and hysteria to promote our agenda so we can get what we want!"
Isn't that how millions ultimately lost their lives in the 1940's? Fear Uncertainty and Doubt.

I hope this does make it to SCOTUS and that we have enough brave souls on the bench there who truly understand and follow the Constitution so we can stem the tide.

Don't worry it isn't over.
