Bump Stock Rule Puts Constitution In The Crosshairs

Share to linkedin

When the 90-day compliance window closes on March 26, lawful purchasers of some 520,000 bump stocks must have either surrendered their devices or destroyed them. Absent judicial relief, this regulation will convert all remaining owners of bump stocks into felons without action by Congress. doctrine in deferring to DOJ’s definition of the terms “single function of the trigger” and “automatically.” DOJ’s new definitions are awkward at best, butposes the more nettlesome problem. This embarrassing precedent tells federal judges to defer to the executive branch’s statutory interpretation whenever the judge decides that a statute is ambiguous and the agency’s interpretation is reasonable. There is not room here for a complete takedown of, so suffice it to say that the D.C.

Second, were Congress to ban bump stocks, would it do so retroactively and with the same penalty structure as owning an actual machinegun? History says no, especially since Congress has tried and failed to ban bump stocks several times—and those bills were rarely retroactive.

AZWS First they will take our guns then our capitalism, once they declare that we are a socialistic country we won’t be able to protect ourselves.

This reads like does not want gun control. The Constitution itself exists to safeguard a nation and its people. If its violation means saving people from crazies, so be it. Where does it end? There is no end, hence amend the Constitution to prevent it being irrelevant.

i can (and do) bumpfire without a bumpstock

Or does it? If we want to take the constitution so goddamn literally I️ vote we drive bears to extinction, sneak into gun owners homes and leave bear arms where their guns were.

Since when is a bump stock an armament?

GOP lawmakers ask DOJ to investigate Cohen for perjuryTwo of President Donald Trump's closest allies on the House Judiciary Committee referred Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to the Justice Department Thursday for possible criminal prosecution, claiming to have evidence that Cohen 'committed perjury and knowingly made false statements' to lawmakers during his day-long testimony Wednesday. these two are gonna end up in the same place as cohen cant wait so keep kissing trumps ass. cohen did nothing wrong we all sat and watched it so keep on making yourself look stupid you know bring in your props lol we know trump told you to do that They are idiots. Whether or not Cohen 'wanted' a job in the whitehouse calls for a subjective response. All he has to say is 'I know some people think I wanted a job in the whitehouse, but I really didn't; because I know that President Twit wanted me in the WH to keep me quiet!' Complicit losers!!!

Analysis: Cohen holding up under attacksMatt Miller, MSNBC contributor and former spokesperson for the Department of Justice, tells Andrea Mitchell that he thinks Michael Cohen has held up under Republican attacks at the congressional hearing. He talks about the 'odd dynamic' where Cohen has put himself in a position of moral authority for no longer enabling the president. Yes, and amazingly well and very strong. The Republicans are behaving like the Spanish Inquisition, for Pete's sake. They're so angry and so belligerent I'm concerned some of them may have some kind of breakdown during the Committee hearing. Their questioning gives new meaning to the term 'Witch Hunt!' How ironic! Cohen is telling and reading what Mueller and Deep State told him to do. He's a liar, his next job will be for MSM fake news 😂
