IndeedKagan referring to herself as a textualist while setting that aside for her own sense of "common sense" is laughable, but also not unexpected.
Eh. Pistol braces. FRS. Things like that.Unpopular take here: I think bump stocks are gimmicky bits like the old Hellfire trigger systems to let Poors have MGs. I'm completely unsurprised that they were eventually targeted as such.
Yup. I do think that there is another case relating to the guns/ammo tax in CA that's making its way through Fed Courts that may end in the elimination of the NFA tax requirements (might be a good start to removing NFA but..)My real concern is how they rule. Now broad or narrow in scope the ruling is that comes out. I'm far more concerned about ATF being given more unilateral decision-making as to the state of weapons and weapon components as it pertains to the NFA. The courts could *really* screw us if they aren't super tight on their ruling.
However APA/admin rulings can really screw us in the long run if they decide in favor of ATF (good bye AR15s, hello AR15s NFA category)
But wouldn't surprise someone particularly if its about scary firearms and their accessories, versus the bureaucracy of fed agencies and fishermen/outdoors people and businessesIt would take some mighty cognitive dissident to be able to say one particular agency is ok to make administrative rulings and and other one isn't
Edit. SCOTUS is made up of humans with largely two sides of views and a spectrum.
