I have zero use for one of the things, but a court victory is still a victory.

Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era federal ban on bump stocks
The ruling marks the latest gun case to come before the nation's top court.

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that a "bump stock" attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a "machine gun," which is prohibited under federal law. The 6-3 vote aligned with the conservative supermajority's previous decisions in gun cases, such as its 2022 decision to expand gun rights.

The court found that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives overstepped its authority by enacting the ban on bump stocks when it determined that the devices were classified as machine guns. Civilians now have access to bump stocks again.

Here's an attached copy (all 42 pages of it...lol) of the ruling:

Any restraint on government bureaucracy is good.

Ditto the vacatur on pistol braces. Can't grant an injunction because "it's a tax matter," (Tax Anti-Injunction Act) but CAN simply declare the rule itself null and void. Poof, never existed.

Roll that up around a pungent brown fatty and smoke it, Herr Sturmbannfuehrer Douchelbach!

Any day that ATF gets bent over a court bench and taken to poundtown like a pedo in genpop is a great day for freedom and America!

And since this is using the "single action per shoot" defense, binary triggers, (already legal) SHOULD stay that way!
