In a totally predictable move, the Supreme Court has decided that guns have more rights than living human beings. The opinion related to a challenge to a federal ban on bump stacks that was implemented following a 2017 mass shooting that killed 58 people at an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas. Felon Donald Trump banned the bump stock feature. Bump stocks allow a shooter to turn a semi-automatic rifle into a fully automatic one that can shoot HUNDREDS of rounds a minute. Exactly as the framers intended when they wrote the 2nd Amendment.
Justice Clarence Harlan Crow Thomas wrote the 6-3 opinion, with the entire Trump/MAGA wing leaning into mass shootings and the 3 liberal justices valuing human life more,
In his craven opinion, Crow Thomas wrote:
“A bump stock does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a machinegun any more than a shooter with a lightning-fast trigger finger does. Even with a bump stock, a semiautomatic rifle will fire only one shot for every ‘function of the trigger.’”
