I do not know the answer to the question-Do these states still have bans?





Now that the supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional the states you just listed have no leg to stand on.

You're wrong. The ruling is that no law prohibits the sale on the federal level.

There's no "we will see" it's literally the same type of ruling as abortion was.

1. Gotta study the matter.

*The arguments in the bump stock case, though, were less about Second Amendment rights and more about whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a Justice Department agency, had overstepped its authority.

Bump stocks are accessories that replace a rifle’s stock, the part that rests against the shoulder. Invented in the 2000s, they harness the gun’s recoil energy so that the trigger bumps against the shooter’s stationary finger, allowing the gun to fire at a similar speed as an automatic weapon. . .

Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have their own bans on bump stocks that aren’t expected to be affected by the ruling, though four state bans may no longer cover bump stocks in the wake of the ruling, according to the gun-control group Everytown.'

2. State bans are still in place

This WAS NOT a 2nd Amendment case. They did not rule whether a bumpstock ban was constitutional or not. The question in front of the court was whether bump stocks were machine guns and whether the ATF had the statutory authority to reclassify them as such. They court ruled that the ATF does not have the authority to reclassify bump stocks as machine guns because they do not meet the statutory definition of a machine gun that Congress created in 26 USC Sec 5845(b). The majority opinion essentially says its up to Congress to pass a law to regulate bump stocks, not the ATF as they lack the authority to do so.

3. Looks like a road trip in the near future.....

Georgia is nice, especially this time of year.

4. And I hear that Milwaukee is a "horrible city",

probably more-so when the Republicans come to town!


With so many thousands of criminals invading them, self-defense enthusiasts may be happy to know that bump-stocks have not been prohibited in Wisconsin....

5. A bit far to drive...

and I'm not a fan of getting TSA'd. Good to know, though.
