Doesn't bode well for any action on braces. Sad.Supreme Court rejects gun rights challenge to bump stocks ban

Yep. You win some you lose some.Doesn't bode well for any action on braces. Sad.
I dunno. Altering the semi-auto function of a firearm to mimic that closer to a MG (aka dangerous device) is a bit different than an SBR, IMHO. An SBR is no more "dangerous" than any other semi auto pistol/rifle in the same calibers. SBR's are also argueably an error addition to the NFA and unintentional effect. The foundation of which is now a relic perception in history past. IOW, no longer applicable in modern times.Doesn't bode well for any action on braces. Sad.
Excellent points @Yarome . What it doesn't bode well for is FRTs and the like...I dunno.

I wouldn't bet on it, but I'm not writing it off as hopeless just yet.
The only thing thats going to rescue this situation is the courts. They have been unwilling to touch machineguns or anything that smells like a machinegun and if you look at the majority and minority decisions over the last few supposedly pro gun cases even going back to Scalias opinions in DC v Heller they are always of the opinion that machineguns NEED to be and CAN be regulated. They are not seeing the difference between a real machine gun and a bumpstock.this is getting ridiculous, because it goes against the Bruen decision. Agency can't just make up their own definitions.
"We have probably had too good an opinion of human nature in forming our confederation."I look at scotus as analogous to a company ceo, they provide strategic direction and correct things when they really go wrong, but they leave management of the company to the managers.
Fe scotus told lower courts to stop using the two step process. Frt, bump stock, and others is not a common use item that would have restricted the rights of a lot of citizens for self defense.
I say this largely due to how many 2A cases they have accepted. How many total 2A cases have they heard since 1900? Less than 10 I would guess (I'm not sure but I know it's a small number).
