BREAKING: Federal Lawsuit Filed Challenging Trump Bump-Stock Ban; Injunction Sought

Atlasarmory · Mar 25, 2019

Any chance we will know anything before midnight ?

I just cannot get over the irony that there may be members of the Obama Administration called to testify in defense of gun rights that an otherwise conservative Republican has decided to take away by fiat. That's not an attempt to start a Trump good/bad argument (plenty of other threads for that), just a comment on how screwed up the world is anymore.

My recommendation would be to not answer your door after midnight tonight.

All family dogs to be outfitted in Kevlar.... I'm joking.... I think.

As we wait to see if there is a last-minute general stay on the bump-stock ban, I want to give you your options in case the stay doesn't arrive in time.

Here are your options - 1 and 2 are the safest, since the bump stocks would become contraband at midnight:

1. One of the other groups fighting the ban, the Firearms Policy Foundation, got the DC Circuit Court to apply a stay to their members only. The good news is that you can join the Firearms Policy Foundation for as little as $1 and be covered by their blanket stay. Click here for more information (many thanks to member Grover Stell for this information):

or

2. Destroy the bump stock per BATFE instructions, below, and throw the remains away.

3. Turn in your bump stock to the local police for destruction. The trouble with this is that once the ban is in place, your bump stock is contraband and you could be arrested and charged, even though you are turning it in. That's probably NOT likely, but it is entirely possible. Also, the police could simply refuse to accept the bump stock.

4. Turn in your bump stock at the local BATFE office. The trouble with this is that once the ban is in place, your bump stock is contraband and you could be arrested and charged.

The results of this court action could well be a bell weather for future SCOTUS responses to anti gun bill challenges.

This Emergency Stay request ONLY goes to Chief Justice Roberts. He’s a little iffy but we know it could have been worse...

danb · Mar 25, 2019

He can probably refer it to the whole court for a vote.

Wondering what proportion of bump stock owners don't know about tonight's deadline or change in legality (as determined by the BATFE by a rules change vs actual legislation), and if they're vaguely aware that they might soon be contraband, have no idea of how to properly destroy.

They forgot to list option 5... keep your property and lift a Mopar Salute towards Washington DC.

I heard a chick for Fox News Raid (on WCBM) say something like "bump stocks allows guns to fire more than once with 1 trigger pull"

I don't have the exact quote, but the bolded part is part of the direct quote. My lord does anyone who reports on firearms know anything about them? Anyone??

I have been following any news about this ban for past few months.
During that time I was thinking about many things..
an unfortunate boating accident, digging backyard, ....

But, this is what I did last Sunday after coming back from church.
I just wanted to keep mine, but I have to keep my job to support my family. :sad20:

It sucks but I will save money to buy REAL full auto M16...

danb · Mar 26, 2019

So, 9:30 and no action from the court on the stay. I suspect that would mean a no...with some sort of dissent being written.

Roberts denied the injuction

ReviledExpat · Mar 26, 2019

No surprise. Roberts is not a defender of the Constitution. He cares more about making people at his Georgetown cocktail parties happy.

WeaponsCollector · Mar 26, 2019

Several hundred thousand new felons today! Hello my felons! Give me your bump stocks and I will dispose of them free of charge and you no longer have to be a dangerous terrorist felon with an assault stock.

His philosophy is "let the process work itself out in good time," he doesn't jump the gun regardless of cost.

danb · Mar 26, 2019

Application (18A964) denied by The Chief Justice. In light of the orders issued by the Court of Appeals on March 23, 2019, and March 25, 2019, no further action is needed in response to the application.

See above post #106. You can avoid being a felon by joining FPC. The stay applies to their members. This is not legal advice.

I would think you'd have had to be a member as of the stay, but if it works, it works. :thumbsup:
