Nice!
So it takes 5 years, 2 months, 2 weeks and 5 days for an unconstitutional act by the gov't to be ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS.
Cue the 'grabbers screeching about fixing the 'radical' SCOTUS in three . . . two . .
The decision should have been unanimous 9-0.
The fact that the 3 DEMOCRATs opposed should make it plain as day to all the contempt DEMOCRATs have for our Constitution as written.
So like countless others and company's forced to destroy or turn in the stocks
I want uncle Sam to refund my loss of the one I had and emotional damage i think 100k would be ok for my pain sufering and emotional roller coster ride worried the atf would shoot my dogs or me for having one
and also the same amount to the tens of thousands destroyed or turned in by every one else who suffered the same
And the company's that made them paid for all lost revenue And court cost x100
If we can give billions to drug users illegals and forgin country's the pay back for the bumps stocks should not even make a blip on the radar
Watching the corrupt bias media meltdowns over the SCOTUS decision on the evening news today was great entertainment.
Just so we remember, it was the donald who ordered the ban.
True story!
Never forget the NRA's opinion on bump stocks.
"The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like
fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
……..and it was the Donald that gave us a conservative majority court.
Yes, but watch for Congressional action attempted soon. The ruling had nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment, only that an agency cannot change a definition in a law passed by Congress.

Guns with bump stocks are machine guns.
They don't fire once with each pull and release of the trigger just because the gun returning from recoil jars your finger forward.
If you put a tie wrap around the pistol grip and trigger, and slowly tightened it until the gun fired, it would empty the mag even if you let the tie wrap go after the first shot.
It's a gas operated rifle with a recoil operated trigger.
Nope. A machine gun is a firearm that once the trigger is depressed it continues to fire as long as the trigger remains depressed. A semi-automatic is a firearm that fires one time when the trigger is depressed. The trigger MUST be released in order to reset which will enable the firearm to fire one round once again. That is the mechanics of it. Labeling them anything else is just nonsense.
If I tattoo wings on a pig that doesn't make it an airplane.
Save yourself further embarrassment by watching the video below. It clearly shows how bump stocks work, which is precisely the opposite of your description. Ignore the first 20 seconds of filler.

The law defines machine gun as a firearm that shoots multiple rounds with only one actuation of the trigger. When properly used, a bump-stock can appear to the uninformed that is is operating like a machine gun, but the trigger is clearly actuated for each round. This is the basis for the decision, which, if the leftists on the court held any respect for the law, should have been unanimous.
Brad Steele
The trigger is actuated for each round by recoil.
That makes it a machine gun. The trigger fires itself when the gun recoils and returns forward into the trigger finger.
Would you say the trigger was being actuated by the shooter's trigger finger just because the recoil drives a spring back, and then the spring bumps the gun forward into the shooter's trigger finger? Is it really not a machine gun just because it jars your finger forward a little?
“Is it really not a machine gun just because it jars your finger forward a little?”Correct. It is not a machine gun.

I quoted how the law is currently written. If the law changes, you would then have a point. Until then, you do not.

@Soreshoulder You made your statement and it has be rebutted by several members, we are not gonna argue about it. Persist and you will not like the outcome.
Since when did bump stocks have springs? Slidefire bump stocks certainly don't. The only one I can think of that did was a prototype sent to the ATF years ago for approval, who immediately said "nope". Do you not understand simple physics? All you had to do was watch the video I posted, which apparently you didn't, and you'd have every answer you need as to how they work. I expect you didn't simply because you don't want to have to come back and say something like "I was wrong". That won't happen, because pride has a tendency of getting in the way of reality.
Stop watching TV. More importantly, stop spreading lies sold to you by the TV. Most importantly, stop believing the lies.
If your supporting arm is the spring, it hardly makes a difference. The recoil is operating the trigger automatically.
You just don't want to let it go, do you? A bump stock DOES NOT convert a gun into a machine gun. That gun is still a semi-automatic because of the way the internals work.
Probably the end of this thread.
