Fifth Circuit blocks ATF ban on bump stocks. It’s amazing what can happen when you don’t get a bunch of sissified leftist Obama judges ruling on things. This is a trend that needs to continue.
In this particular case, known as Cargill v. Garland, an en banc panel on the Fifth Circuit agreed 13-3 with the argument that the ATF’s sudden declaration that bump stocks were “machine guns” not only reversed years of settled policy, but completely ignored the meaning of the phrase “machine gun” as defined by the Gun Control Act and National Firearms Act.
