Supreme Court Rejects Gun Rights Group's Challenge to Bump Stock Ban
Great news!
"The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rebuffed a bid by gun rights advocates to overturn President Donald Trump’s ban on “bump stocks” - devices that enable semi-automatic weapons to fire rapidly like a machine gun - implemented after the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.
"Bump stocks use a gun’s recoil to bump its trigger, enabling a semiautomatic weapon to fire hundreds of rounds per minute, which can transform it into a machine gun.
"The ban required owners to turn in or destroy the attachments and those caught in possession of them could face up to 10 years in prison."

Anyone in the USA (The Gunfighter Nation) can, with the right amount of currency, legally purchase a "Class III"
weapon. This is a page from the RIA Auction sight monthly brochure. A constant supplier of fine weaponry for the discerning shootist:

I wish them deafness because they are probably causing deafness to others or at least making others wish they were deaf.
@Lorajay
Pretty sure ear and eye protection is mandatory.
@bigpawbullets even for the neighbors?
@Lorajay
Well, it's pretty remote.
Good grief. A GOP dominated supreme court did that? Maybe miracles from god are real, after all!!

And....
In our capitalistic culture, the street price of a bump stock just quadrupled. 
The fascination with fully automatic weapons has always bemused me.

Having been in our armed forces, I understand the fascination, but just because something is fascinating doesn't mean you should play with it, eg, snakes, spiders, big cats etc.
@MissKathleen
I'd suspect that dying from automatic weapons fire or semiautomatic weapons fire is pretty much the same.
@MissKathleen

@MissKathleen
Supreme court justices get the credit. The President is most likely oblivious to this.
@MissKathleen
I take it you won't be voting for President Trump for re-election?
@MissKathleen i wouldn't.
