CNN Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy said Sunday the Supreme Court is readying to fundamentally rewrite the Second Amendment after striking down a federal ban on bump stocks.
Recent gun-related rulings from the high court, Murphy told CNNs Jake Tapper on State of the Union, signal it is prepared to take away permanently the ability of Congress to do simple things like require people to go through a background check or move forward on taking dangerous weapons like AR-15s off of the streets.
So I think this court is poised to make it very hard for Congress or state legislatures to be able to regulate guns and keep our communities and schools safe, he said.
The Supreme Courts striking down of the federal ban on bump stocks marked the latest opinion from the conservative bench rolling back firearm regulations.

I'll bet there are some pretty potent weapons out there that aren't covered by the ATF or any other laws. Incel boys in their mom's basements are probably busy putting some of these together.

So now SCOTUS might be limiting Congress' ability to protect us? I hope they realize they'll be allowing everyone go nutz with guns, not just Dump's base.

Can it be stopped?
It is of concern to me that several sightings of cars with their doors removed have been spotted in some areas of northern MN. making them look like military jeeps or something. Or is it something else and I am misguided on all of this??????

By the way, I hate it when people call her by her first name, Hillary, like they actually know her That's so demeaning, insulting and pisses me off to no end, since she's one of the finest statespersons in our lifetimes. It's Hillary Clinton, Ms. Clinton or, my favorite, Sec. Clinton. She's more than fucking earned it. Should have been President Clinton. The left did her nearly as much injustice as the reich.

They know our founding fathers did not intend for every day Americans to be gunned
down with military grade weapons, while going about their daily business.
So who benefits from the US becoming so violent?
(Hint: who funded the NRA and why?)
