    Thank you, The Reload. I'm very glad you went over the political fact that machine guns are very probably off the SCOTUS table. I've resigned my self politically to that faraway goal.

    Still, plenty of battles worth fighting at the federal and states' levels, including the upcoming Colorado excise tax referendum. Even if moderate CO lefties feel warm and fuzzy about magazine limits, UBCs, "red flags", et. al., it is abhorrent and #UnAmerican To #TaxOneself

    Reply to​ @jongruen7854 The point of governments is to deter and punish criminal activity, whether it's an LV Mandalay or an Enron #GovernmentANecessaryEvil #RepealTheNFA

    The problem is that SCOTUS rules in a way that if they can avoid a constitutional question, they will. In the current Cargill case, they didn’t need to get to the constitutional question, because they were able to throw the rule out based on the rule being in conflict with the written law they were interpreting.

    Since rate of fire has nothing to do with the statutory definition of a machine gun. How would a machine gun be considered "dangerous and unusual" without considering ROF? The statute implies that the function of the trigger only be considered when determining what is a machine gun. This win with bump stocks, and a future win in an "assault weapons" case would make it harder for the SC to uphold a ban on machine guns.

    Bump Stocks, Forced Reset Triggers, and even my rubber band trick would have never been invented had the Hughes Amendment not been adopted. Repealing the Hughes Amendment would render bump stocks and other rapid fire devices obsolete!

    I think the '86 Amendment that made new machine guns illegal was the Hughes Amendment, not Lautenberg @ 4:17. Anyway, thank you for the coverage, FRTs next.
