Supreme Court Gives Blow to Gun Grabs, ATF Rules Can’t Ban Stocks – Great Clarence Thomas Authors’ Opinion as Leftists Seethe | The Gateway expert

In a loss for the Biden administration and in a major victory for Second Amendment advocates, the Supreme Court on Friday struck down a federal ban on bump stocks.

The court ruled in case of Garland vs. Cargill that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) exceeded its constitutional authority in drafting the regulation. The vote was 6-3, with the six conservatives joining the majority and the three leftists dissenting.

To make matters worse for the Liberals, the view was offered by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. He said this accessory does not mean a firearm equipped with it meets the definition of “machine gun” under federal law.

“This case asks whether a bump stock – an accessory for a semi-automatic rifle that allows the shooter to quickly pull the trigger (and therefore achieve a high rate of fire) – turns the rifle into a ‘machine gun.’ We believe that this is not the case,” wrote the great Thomas.

Judge Sonia “Wise Latina” Sotomayor was quite displeased and wrote an angry dissent.

“When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck,” she wailed. NBC News reports that Sotomayor was so triggered that she took the rare step of reading a summary of her dissent in court.

But if you thought Sotomayor was crazy, the response from liberals on Twitter made her response seem tame.

I wonder how much additionally Clarence Thomas was compensated for the stock decision… or was that just a bonus for the right winger?

Make no mistake, dears, SCOTUS (Thomas wrote it) The re-legalization of bump stocks is no coincidence.
They want the violence.#VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy

What a stupid stupid judge. Machine guns have triggers. Clarence Thomas writes Supreme Court law overturning Trump bump stock ban – Raw Story

Extreme court knocks over bump stock fans. Thomas wrote the 6-3 decision. I have a suggestion on what to do with those bump stocks, but I’ll keep it to myself since I don’t want a visit from the FBI. But Jesus, fucking Christ.

WTF? I smell the NRA! Thomas and his pathetic statement are disturbing! My understanding is that bump stocks turn a weapon into a machine gun. Sotomayer said, “bump stock equipped semi-automatic rifle automatically fires more than one shot;” That looks a lot like a machine gun to me too

As Gateway Pundit readers may know, bump stocks are gun stocks generally used to assist with bumpfires. The “bump stock” replaces the standard stock of a rifle, the part held against the shooter’s shoulder. This allows the weapon to slide back and forth quickly.

The federal government felt it forced to act to ban the procedure following the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.

NBC News notes The lawsuit was filed by Texas-based gun owner Michael Cargill. He is a licensed dealer who owned two bump stocks before the ban went into effect December 2018 and later handed them over to the government.

Biden’s Department of Injustice took over the initiative case after Joe Biden took power in 2021 as part of their effort to destroy the constitutional right of law-abiding Americans.
