You really ought to go do some reading. The courts have said that is not the case.

The last comment, if they want you gone they'll find a way, holds a lot of truth.

Lots of good perspective.

You see the state returning the weapons too?

Good points from Mark Smith. Biggest for me is due process hasn't been defined - they left that for another day.

The state is going to screw some people before the federal courts eventually slap them down. That's not new. There's always at least one thread going where someone is fighting the crown's secret committee just to get a FOID.

The weapons at the heart of this case are dangerous but not unusual. They are precisely the sort of weapons that a newly freed slave would have needed to defend themselves from the KKK. As I read the ruling, the court is saying everything is legal unless it is both dangerous and unusual (i.e. nuclear weapons) and most attempts to disarm must be done at the individual level through the courts with full due process.

They should just staple that to the FOID challenge. The whole FOID/CCL secret court can't survive this. The fact that FOID strips people of their rights by default and then you have to buy them back does not survive this.

I was actually spiking the ball with you 🤣

Not without due process. It's right there in the ruling.

They even took a shot at red flag laws. Wow. Rahimi lost but the 2nd got stronger protection.

Chad @ SOTAR just released 3 videos tearing apart and checking 2 PSA uppers. It was interesting to see. They did a lot better than some better regarded brands.

There is no remedy under the law other than to eventually make them stop. Qualified immunity is going to be the next big hurdle in the gun rights war.

You have to watch the whole video to understand what got him so upset. He opened the video by saying bumpstocks convert semiautomatic rifles into machine guns. Todd had just said he was wrong and called him a gun controller.

Are bumpstocks specifically banned in the Democratic People's Republic of Illinois or are they just lumped in under pica?

Yep, I'm convinced Chevron is going down. Alito saying Congress has to make the rules means Chevron is dead. Don't throw Alito under the bus for taunting the gun controllers with the votes they don't have.

I can't help but wonder if that was more about the Chevron deference case. Not sure if he his spiking or swiping though. Kind of makes me wonder how that one will go.

Yep, Alito hit that in his concurrence. "There is a simple remedy for the disparate treatment of bump stocks and machineguns. Congress can amend the law—and perhaps would have done so already if ATF had stuck with its earlier interpretation. Now that the situation is clear, Congress can act."

In Garland v. Cargill, the court rules that a bumpstock does not convert a rifle into a machinegun and cannot be restricted as such.

He's a politician.

I keep forgetting that Federal regulations > Bill of Rights.

Right, I don't think a normal person's laptop would be valuable in any way beyond reimaging the hard drive and using the machine as your own.
