Overturning the ban on bump stocks has no basis in American history or tradition as claimed by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Conservative Supreme Court justices are jacks of all trades and a master of none. They dabble in semantics, history, the practice of medicine , and now have taken a foray into being experts on guns. Their decision to strike down the ban on bump stocks is absurd and shows the lengths they will go to get the result they want by considering trigger pull and reset with bump stocks versus the rate of fire that equals a machine gun.
The Heller decision overturned two centuries of precedent in which the 2nd Amendment referred to the formation of state militias. It took Scalia a lot searching of dictionaries to find synonyms that would support the ruling. In other words, making law by Thesaurus. In Bruen the conservative majority adopted a historical tradition of gun regulation, which was not even factual to get the result it wanted. Most Americans in the past did not and today do not own guns.of the population own most of the guns. Even in the Wild West the 19th Century towns had bans on carrying guns in public.
The court is now using a dangerous new standard called “history and tradition” for its rulings, which is actually misleading & inaccurate. But this will be used in the future to expand gun rights and set back others based on what supposedly happened in past centuries.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
