This is great news, but it's a mistake to assume that the left is principled enough to allow that mistake to have any effect on their gun grabbing attempts.
Yeah, United States v. Miller (1939) stated that the Second Amendment only applied to weapons currently or formerly in use by a military power. The leftists still freak out about muh Mfowuhs and muh weaponz uf wahhhr. Hell, the Founders stated during the ratification of the Constitution that the Second Amendment covered "... swords and every terrible implement of the soldier..." and that the only people who could be legally disarmed were government employees. Still doesn't stop lefties from braying about guns.
The power of the sword, say the minority..., is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for the powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords and every terrible implement of the soldier are the birthright of Americans. - Tench Cox
I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials. -George Mason
Doesn't SCOTUS ever think about all the gang shootings and crimes of passion that are committed with modified AR-15's? Man walks in on his wife cheating on him, or a junkie catches his dealer trying to scam him, and before you know it, out comes the AR-15!
There's a reason they target AR-15s and not concealable handguns. They're fine with their pet dindus shooting each other up in gang warfare, so they'll only go after handguns once they've stolen all the rifles.
No governmental body can ban any firearm or weapon without breaking the entire contract of the Bill of Rights and Constitution. Any infringement gives the people the right to remove the government, with force if necessary.
Good, I want Americans to be as armed as they want to be. I want to return to the era where guns were simply tools than the 'big bad bogeyman' the liberals spent DECADES of propaganda to paint them as.
Now SCOTUS, bring in broad president immunity to REALLY stomp on the left's nuts with a steel capped boot!
Haha. Yeah when has the left ever cared about laws, precedent, or the constitution. They will still ban them and the right will just accept it like they always do.
As HallucinatoryBeing pointed out above he thought it would be an easy win with normies and the media. He may have even thought it would save lives. Trump is essentially a classic New York democrat. He doesn't know anything about firearms or 2A and doesn't particularly care for them either way. He only backs the right to bear arms because he's a populist and that's what his constituents demand. Thankfully that means he put in judges who do understand 2A.
Donald Trump Jr. is also a huge gun/hunting/fishing guy. I'm sure he has his dad's ear on some of this stuff. I haven't heard him talk about the bump stock ban though.
The second amendment isn't confusing. Only someone who is trying to be deceptive, a bad actor, can find ways to make the 2A unclear. And to that end, all laws can be made to say something else. This is the power of sophistry

Good. Take from them everything. The admin state with agencies that no one voted for need to be kneecapped as often and as hard as possible.
This must be why Sotomayor wept.

You can't wage a war, or fight off tyrants and their armies with handguns. You need rifles for that, which is why they want to ban rifles.
I'm fine with this. Was one of the few things I completely disagreed with President Trump on.
The issue is the dog-killing ATF did it on their own. This should be a law thru congress.
Maybe, but I definitely remember it was something he supported.
Because the Las Vegas fed-op just happened and he wanted to be seen Doing Something™.

Alito outright says they can: https://x.com/andrewmgrossman/status/1801621669103976773
If he, a SUPREME COURT FUCKING JUDGE, felt it was completely unconstitutional you think he wouldn't give them a green light to do just that.
"Congress can amend the law" "Congress can act" English motherfucker can you read it?

I want founding stock type Americans to be well armed and I want leftists, black people, and first & second generation immigrants to not be.
Trump's lucky he got justices keeping things uncomfortable for leftists while he's not in power.
just strike down the nfa already
Haha. Yeah when has the left ever cared about laws, precedent, or the constitution. They will still ban them and the right will just accept it like they always do.
What was that strategy? Attack them from the left?

ELEVENTH DIMENSIONAL CHESS
3D chess! Trump bates the retards into defying him. He administers a bump stock ban, the liberals overturn it, and here we are.
