Bump-stock ban enacted by Trump administration can stand, federal judge rules

A federal judge in Washington ruled late Monday that the Trump administration’s ban on rapid-fire rifle attachments known as bump stocks can move forward, stymieing efforts by gun-rights groups that sought to block the new policy.

Trump moved to ban bump stocks in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting with loud bipartisan support from Congress and anti-gun-violence advocates. The October 2017 shooting left 58 people dead and hundreds wounded after a man rained gunfire on concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest festival, firing from the 32nd floor of his Vegas hotel. Affixed to a dozen of the 23 rifles found in his room were bump-stock devices, which allowed him to fire multiple rounds more quickly.

“That this decision marked a reversal of ATF’s previous interpretation [of the meaning of bump stock] is not a basis for invalidating the rule,” Friedrich wrote, “because ATF’s current interpretation is lawful and ATF adequately explained the change in interpretation." The gun-rights groups also tried to challenge the validity of the rule on the grounds that then-acting attorney general Matthew G. Whitaker had been unconstitutionally appointed by Trump. Friedrich found that this argument also lacked any merit.

doesn't matter.. there are thousands and thousands out there.. speculators likely bought any remaining in stores legally and will sell them off on ebay etc for years and years.. a little clever wording and they'll sell em..

realDonaldTrump I'll give you a W, lotta Ls, but you've gotten a W.

Great. Just more precedent for when a dem president declares guns a national emergency. Enjoy registering your guns annually.

Another sensible gun law. Great job realDonaldTrump

But President Obama came after your guns. hahaha

Did the shitball Democrats fight him on that too

Thank you! This is a win for Americans regardless which political party you support.

The 2nd amendment, I’m prettyyyy surrre, that when the forefathers wrote it, was powder into a weapon. A sprayed “bullet” , pretty slow to strike (or reload, rather), a second time. It’s amazing to me that THIS is not considered in modern day gun law upholdings.

Oh shit MAGA folks Trump is coming for your guns. Where’s the outrage?

About time...

Finallyyyy...

If folks want fully automatic weapons they are going to have to pay tens of thousands for the rifle and then pay the costly tax stamps to the ATF in order to legally own one. Very difficult but possible if you have money to spend.

And if the dotard had it his way

LOL they're gonna take your gunZ!!!!

Lol even Obama didn’t do this

Bumpstocks aren't all that. They just help inexperienced shooters do what we've been doing for decades...
