Oh Great, Supreme Court restores the 'right' to BUMP STOCKS

20. The problem is the letter of law says they aren't by the exact definition of the statute

This is one of my biggest pet peeves - poorly written laws.

Badly written laws come in two forms - those written too vaguely and end up impacting areas they shouldn't, and those written too precisely that they create loopholes. This is a clear example of the latter.

These devices were carefully designed to exploit a loophole in the definition of what is a machine gun. This isn't going to be popular, but this should have been a 9-0 to strike down the ATF rule. It is not the courts job to do what it right, it is their job to rule based on law and the constitution. But at the same time, in a perfect world where our politicians are all intelligent and reasonable people, this would immediately be followed by a new law to change the definition of a machine gun to close this loophole.
