By Mark Berman Mark Berman National news reporter Email Bio Follow March 28 at 12:14 PM The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to block the Trump administration’s ban on bump stocks, devices that effectively speed up how quickly rifles can be fired.
After a gunman used weapons with bump stocks attached during the October 2017 massacre in Las Vegas — killing 58 people and wounding hundreds more while firing at a country music festival — lawmakers began calling for the devices to be banned. President Trump directed the Justice Department to change regulations and ban the devices in February 2018, shortly after a former student killed 17 people in a Parkland, Fla.
“The protection of the public and law enforcement officers from the proliferation of prohibited firearms is a bedrock foundation of federal firearms legislation ... Implementation of the rule promotes that public interest by protecting the public from the dangers posed by machine guns prohibited by federal law,” Francisco wrote in a filing to the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Prove a bump stock was used in the Vegas false flag. We still haven't seen jack on that BS , the city with more video surveillance than anywhere, but nothing..... I call BS.
Thoughts and prayers for the NRA.
Thank you President Trump. The world would be far safer. If we could just ban Democrats...
The right to plastic accessories shall not be infringed.
Banning bump stocks in no way restricts your right to own murder toys. It says 'right to bear arms' not 'right to bear accessories to arms'
Who needs a bump stock when you have a belt loop?
But how are us good AMERICAN Patriots supposed to keep government overreach in check without them? (sarcasm)
you can't ban plastic. 🤣🤣🤣
