  I believe this is the right court decision. People try to make everything partisan, but you can’t just make up laws at will.

  I have no issue with bump stocks being banned. The issue is it has be done legally.

    Really nice to just see people saying sane things out in the wild. They are not so easily found on other platforms, I seem to recall.

    The issue is largely moot since the invention of Hellfire Triggers anyway.

      I am surprised that are not in violation of one of the different laws. I agree with the court, this is an action of congress.

  I live in the town where most bump stocks were made. After the ban they closed down and a lot of jobs were lost. I wonder if they’ll try to come back.

  @wintermute_oregon #MAGA rarely pays attention to these sorts of things but it's funny that the #Trump administration brought in the bump stock ban and the #JoeBiden administration got rid of them

  (Yes I know the president doesn't control the #SupremeCourt, but still)

    Joe Biden had nothing to do with the ban removed. The lawsuit was filed by a gun store in Texas and worked its way up through the Supreme Court.
