A Trump administration ban on bump stocks — devices that enable a shooter to rapidly fire multiple rounds from semi-automatic weapons after an initial trigger pull — has been struck down by a federal appeals court in New Orleans.

The court found that the definition of a machinegun — which is set out in two different federal statutes — “does not apply to bump stocks.”

Bump stocks harness the recoil energy of a semiautomatic firearm so that a trigger “resets and continues firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter,” according to the ATF. A shooter must maintain constant forward pressure on the weapon with the non-shooting hand, and constant pressure on the trigger with the trigger finger, according to court records.The full appeals court Friday sided with opponents of the ATF rule.

Nice fail. Trump had nothing to do with it. All demotrash ATF

Bro most militaries don't even use full auto on rifles, no one needs a bump stock

This is the stupidest decision in judicial history... Bumper stocks recreate automatic discharge which is illegal... Just stupid...

I thought the Democrats were supposed to be 'Delivering'. Gun laws are getting even more relaxed on their watch and six year olds are shooting people!

Just here to laugh at the anti-Gun cheerleader having hart attacks 😂

Just had a 6 year old shoot their teacher, but yeah this is totally fine. This is what the founding fathers thought of when they said well trained militia.

that cant be what thats for

Good, the NRA cannot make laws or interpret laws. There was no law stating that was illegal. If they wanted to make it illegal, they should have put it on a bill and passed it.

asia rankings did anybody hear

Nice

“Opponents of the ban argued that bump stocks do not fall under the definition of illegal machine guns in federal law. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says they do, a position now being defended by the Biden administration.”

SPQ_ESQ Pretty soon people will be driving trucks with machine guns in the back bed through the streets of America.....

Great news for mass shooters.🙄

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

They aren't even accurate and a waste of money

Our judicial system is what needs an overhaul.

Yes because that's what the founding fathers intended with the second amendment. Kill as many innocent Americans as you want.

Did they forget Vegas?

sick

Nice job, gun cucks.

Ah well, nonetheless 🙄

Good

Do you have anyone on staff that knows how guns work? Or is everyone just completely vapid?

And 6 year olds are shooting their teachers, thanks to the sleazy GOP.

Another hard core decision from the 5th Circuit. This is the Circuit where everyone is shopping their conservative cases these days.

Why does one need a bump stock?

And a six year old took a gun to school and shot his teacher this week. I guess he just needed one of these so he could have taken out the whole class.

Why in the world would they do that?

See pass the surface news and open your eyes to the fact that Trump knew from the beginning they would strike it down, and what did the left do? They gave back something they were trying to take away from The People out of spite to Trump hilarious when you think about it.

You are lying. For each shot you still have to pull the trigger. A bump stock does not change a semi automatic rifle into an automatic. It only speeds up the cycle. Very important in hunting where you often need to fire a follow up shot very quickly.

Welp…Guns again;Republicans and Gun loving conservative Democrats don’t want any sensible gun legislation they want faster ways to annihilate people.

What is wrong with the US

Figures

Politic has killed common sense in US

What a fucked-up country America is. 🤣😂😆🤦‍♂️

Disgusting

Good luck with that. How sad

so when can i buy one

What?!? That was going to stop all of the violence.

A 6 year old shot his teacher intentionally yesterday but sure ok.

I hate gun fanatic judges

Wow he didn't make late night calls to reverse that.... shocking

👍🏽👍🏽

People have such a hard time understanding the word infringed.

Third world country.

SICKOS

Trump-era ban on bump stocks struck down by courtA Trump-era ban on bump stocks, devices that enable semi-automatic weapons to fire multiple rounds quickly, was nixed by a federal appeals court in New Orleans on Friday. Who cares, they're junk and waste ammunition.... The paradox: ammunition is so expensive now, burning 30 rounds quickly just isn't economically viable. 😛 Good. Let's hope the courts strike down ALL the anti-gun BS rules.
