The only explanation for the Supreme Court's 6-3 bump stock decision is that the ultraconservative majority supports gun rights virtually without question.

On Friday, the Supreme Court once more narrowed the power of the government to protect the American people from gun violence. In a 6-3 decision, split along ideological lines, the justices invalidated a rule adopted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that prohibited a device, bump stocks, that effectively turns semiautomatic rifles into machine guns.

As Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissent on Friday, “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.” Unfortunately, the court, in a majority opinion written by Justice Clarence Thomas, decided minute differences in bump stock weapons and machine guns mean the ATF lacked the authority to adopt its rule.
