If the bump stock ban isn’t reversed, things will get even worse during the next leftist administration.
An important part this very good post didnt mention is the ATF admitted they didnt really have the authority to do what they did. But the rule should still stand.
I just selectively cut the article and pasted here; I think the atf's lack of fiat power was in the original.
WHY, exactly, should the rule stand?
Could be a trap like a bad porn site....

"ATF’s latest court filing admits that it lacked rulemaking authority under the Gun Control Act and National Firearms Act to issue a legislative rule. "
"ATF thus now agrees with NCLA that the district court below was wrong on this point of law."
From your link.......
Where there is no link or reference to a resource to back that up....
I think that is their opinion..........
Don't misunderstand I think the ban is a crock.....But no where did the ATF actually admit they didn't have the authority...if they did, let's see it....
Your looking for DOJ's Appellee brief, which is behind PACER. I've downloaded it and dropped it on a google drive. Specifically, the bottom of page 40 through 42 or 43.Please show me in the references... where ATF admitted they didn't have the authority...
I want to see the actual admission document.....
You would have to go to the court records of all the filings in the case and read them for yourself. The filing may even be published online, but that's not a guarantee."ATF’s latest court filing admits that it lacked rulemaking authority under the Gun Control Act and National Firearms Act to issue a legislative rule.

If you really want to swing for the fences, you can interpret that as the ATF saying "The Circuit ruled in our favor but they were wrong to do so." The New Civil Liberties Alliance seems to be really running with this, as if the ATF were completely throwing in the towel. That's not what's happening. The ATF is, at best, admitting to the possibility that the Circuit ruling in their favor was wrong on this one point. Only.The D.C. Circuit believed that Congress gave the Attorney General the authority to make possession of a bump stock unlawful even if it were not illegal under the plain terms of the statute. ... Yet as a general matter, “criminal laws are for courts, not for the Government, to construe.”
Thus, the ATF argues that this particular point, while having contestable merit, isn't determinative. They are arguing that it isn't really on-topic since their Rule isn't based on "gap-filling" (making up stuff to fill in the gaps left by incomplete statutes) but, rather, on a newly-correct understanding of the language of the NFA.For the same reasons that the Rule represents the correct understanding of the statutory text, the Rule at a minimum reflects a permissible reading of the statutory terms.
