“ATF Exceeded Its Statutory Authority”: Supreme Court Rules Bump Stock Ban Is Unconstitutional

By Tyler Durden

On Friday, the Supreme Court invalidated the Trump administration’s bump-stock rule, which the Biden administration defended, in a 6-3 vote authored by conservative Justice Clarence Thomas.

“ATF exceeded its statutory authority by issuing a Rule that classifies a bump stock as a “machinegun” under §5845(b),” the Supreme Court said in the Garland v. Cargill case, otherwise known as the bump stock case.

Let’s also remind readers where this nonsense bump stock rule began…

Cargill has released a statement on X:

Here’s what X users are saying:

A bump stock is not a machine gun.

Not a hard decision.

SCOTUS overturns bump stock ban. 6-3 decision. This was the regulation put in place by the Trump administration in the wake of the Las Vegas mass shooting.

ATF loses the bump stock case 6-3 along predictable ideological lines. Thomas opinion, Alito concurs. Not a hard case.

Bump stock ruling 6-3 says ATF went beyond its authority saying bump stocks are classified as “machine guns”.

Shall not be infringed.

The ruling today ends the nationwide ban on bump stocks. It’s also a huge win for gun rights advocates.

… 3 – 2 – 1. Anti-gunners will have a meltdown today.
