Court Rules Bump Stocks Are Not Machine Guns
From Guns.com:
The Circuit, which controls Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, handed down a 60-page opinion in the case of Gun Owners of America, Inc. v. Merrick B. Garland this week. The crux of the issue to the court was that the ATF – effectively part of the executive branch of government – enforces laws rather than makes them, with that authority reserved for the people acting through their elected representatives in Congress.
“Congress could amend the statute tomorrow to criminalize bump-stock ownership, if it so wished,” said Judge Alice M. Batchelder for the majority, which was joined by Judge Eric E. Murphy. “But as judges, we cannot amend [the statute]. And neither can ATF. This is because the separation of powers requires that any legislation pass through the legislature, no matter how well-intentioned or widely supported the policy might be.”
Explanation Of Futile Injunction Against Defense Distributed

From National Review:
We are in the grips of a bizarre political panic that is disconnected from the facts and the law but is deeply connected not just to the larger culture war over gun rights in the United States but also to the deep suspicion of virtually any action taken by the Trump administration. There was a time when we could have greater confidence in federal courts to take a breath, soberly consider the issues, and introduce a measure of reason and rationality to legal debate. In some courts — especially when Trump administration actions are at issue — those days are long past.
Federal Judge Shuts Down DEFCAD
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 1/Aug/2018 07:35
DEFCAD is temporarily offline due to the order of a federal judge in Washington. This is after the State Dept. agreed that DEFCAD could post 3D printer files for several guns. Go to defcad.com to support your first and second amendment rights. This is the last gasp of the gun banners. Soon any law passed will have no effect on a person’s ability to arm themselves.
