#machinegun

You really can't stop the signal. As long as there is enough energy in a round of ammunition to propel a bullet forward, there will be enough energy to cycle the firing mechanism. And as long as nitrate can be mass-produced, there will be enough energy in the round.

The deadly weapon is in the hand, but mostly it's inside the skull. The part that needs to be [self-]controlled is the mind.

If you are a racist redpilled fascist felon, *you* should be as restricted as the #MachineGun.

Continued thread

#GarlandVCargill turned on whether #BumpStocks meet the definition of a #MachineGun under a 1986 #law. Fed appeals courts were divided in 5 earlier decisions, before #SCOTUS.

Cargill’s case did not directly involve the #2ndAmendment, but was a test of the reach of a #FederalAgency to enact & interpret #regulations — a major crusade w/the current #SupremeCourt.

#Legal precedent says courts should DEFER to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes if reasonable.
