Hopefully this decision will carry over. Just have to get the argument into a specific case against the ATF before the SCOTUS.OUT-****ING-STANDING!
Same here. Statists gonna state.I‘ll be over here trying to not get my hopes up.
SCOTUS unanimously issued a decision in another case unrelated to the ATF but it could lay the foundation for an argument to end ATF's practice of ambiguous interpretations.
Congress has been lazy. They purposefully have written laws vaguely, and allowed the agencies to interpret.Avoid the vagueness and be specific...is the only way to write and then interpret a law!
It's like the legislation that passed is open ended and then the ATF ( a non legislative body btw) is allowed to add to that legislation at will or to interpret things in such a way as to try and fit an accessory into the definition of a prohibited item outlined in the legislation to make it prohibited also.Congress has been lazy.

Honestly, I do not think that one was ambiguous at all. They just said it was. I imagine if they get that case up to the USSC, they will lose.It's like the legislation that passed is open ended and then the ATF ( a non legislative body btw) is allowed to add to that legislation at will or to interpret things in such a way as to try and fit an accessory into the definition of a prohibited item outlined in the legislation to make it prohibited also.
Such as classifying bump stocks as a machine gun as one example.
A little light on the ****'s tonight Big Red. Feeling OK?
^^^^^^^ this. If the ATF actually operated within the bounds of the Constitution, it would be a place the poor could aquire the arms they needed when they ascended to the unorganized militia so they were equipped to perform there duties if called upon.The atf should be a convenience store - if it must exist at all.
Bureaucracies in general need reigned in. I didn't vote for a bureaucracy and the legislators use them for compliance and control. Or maybe they're just ****ing lazy. Either way, vague laws with morphing interpretations from unelected bureaucrats must end. The O'Great One had the epa claiming rights to puddles on private property. ****ing puddles. The epa claimed rights to rain puddles. Overreach. The atf should be a convenience store - if it must exist at all.
