SCOTUS denied our application.

Thomas and Gorsuch would have granted.

We are continuing to explore all available options to protect individuals and their property.

Disappointing, but unsurprising. I hope you still petition cert from SCOTUS. They likely won't take the case, but it's one more option to try anyway.

There’s already a Dem on the throne

The groundwork has been laid to ban all semi-autos via executive action.  The DC majority ruling and reasoning encompasses all semi-autos, single action pistols, and shotguns capable of slamfire.

It ain’t over yet.

The guy that told DC their AWB should get fucked? Heller II with 50 pages of Kavanaugh dissenting, including: "There is no basis in Heller for drawing a constitutional distinction between semi-automatic handguns and semi-automatic rifles."

But, that's about semiautos, he sticks to precedent when it is available, Heller said machine guns were not protected and he was only a court of appeals judge ruling on semiautos so he didn't give anything beyond a brief passing mention distinguishing MGs from semiautos in a mechanical sense: "That  is  in  contrast  to  an  automatic gun –   also known as a machine gun – which “fires repeatedly  with  a  single  pull  of  the  trigger.    That  is,  once  its  trigger  is  depressed,  the  weapon  will  automatically  continue  to  fire  until  its  trigger  is  released  or  the  ammunition  is  exhausted."

Alito not signing on is a bit more surprising, he dissented in 1996 as part of US v Rybar that the 1986 MG ban was unconstitutional because of interstate commerce. But today, Alito gives huge deference to regulatory agencies and police/prosecutors, letting them get the job done with conduct that other justices consider to be violations of their rights, and the bump stock ban is regulatory agency changing their definition...

No, it means he didn't feel like putting his name on the order as being in favor of granting the request. He and Alito may have both voted to grant the order but if Roberts didn't agree it isn't granted. Or maybe it was Kavanaugh and Roberts voting yes, but Alito said no. We'll never know. All we know is that Gorsuch and Thomas were willing to put their names on the order as being willing to grant it.

Roberts referred it to the whole Court, so I assume that at least five justices voted to deny it.
ETA: It's not an opinion, it's just a denial of the request for the stay.

Good point. Now is the time to be preparing. SCOTUS is not going to protect your rights from politicians. All of the branches will soon be truly Democrat controlled. Not trying to be a negative Nancy. The SCOTUS is not truly right leaning, even if rbg dies the court is bit going to help.

So now that that branch is no longer a check, the wrong combination of Democrat Congress and president will be free to crush the bill of rights and the Constitution in general.

It won't just be guns, it will be the entire liberal agenda.

The likely reality is that Gorsuch and Thomas are the only two justices (IIRC) that are actively looking for a vehicle to use to gut Chevron. The justices probably aren't even looking at it through a 2nd amdt. lens.

You might look into Kisor v. Wilkie.

Whether the Supreme Court should overrule Auer v. Robbins and Bowles v. Seminole Rock & Sand Co., which direct courts to defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of its own ambiguous regulation.
https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/kisor-v-wilkie/

Auer is just like Chevron. They're both heinous shirking of responsibility from the judiciary. I'm not exactly hopeful that they'll take up the torch again, as they should, but it's at least nice to see that a case has already make it to SCOTUS.

an unbiased reading of the opinion would show that miltary-grade arms would be protected.

since Miller did not show up to SCOTUS, there was no defense to show that short-barreled shotguns were used in WW1 and that they had a reasonable relationship to a well regulated militia.  so SCOTUS just took the gov's argument and upheld the NFA.

when Heller was ruled some 60+ years later, you can actually see SCOTUS trying to block Miller so that we wouldn't be able to use it to legalize MGs.
He didn't show up because he was a bank robber in witness protection.  Too bad the whole laws hinge on this flawed case.

You actually think revving Congress up during the absolute HEAT of the Las Vegas thing would have been any kind of strategic good idea?

Have you paid any attention at all to New Zealand?

They'd have passed a confiscatory ban of semi-autos to thunderous applause.

Part of the way this played out was a function of time.

In fact, part of my problem with this litigation is that it could be briefed and argued before we get that one additional vote on SCOTUS to guaranty a win.

(Although even a win will simply open it back up in Congress, which has never relaxed limitations of rapid fire in nearly a century).

The way I read it was that the stay only applied to the named plaintiff and members of the named groups.  For everyone else, the bumpstock ban took effect on the original date.  The April 10 date is when those who were under the stay would have to be in compliance.

I am both heartbroken and in full compliance with the rule.

My heartfelt thanks go out to NoloContendere, SuperMoose, wolfwood, Joshua Prince, and every other member of the legal team, as well as everyone that has supported the fight. The hours put in toward this fight are countless. The cost of this fight, on a personal level, has been great, and the debt owed is greater.

Mark LaRue will always have my respect and admiration, but not just for how much money he has raised for this and other pro 2A fights. No, that is too easy - lesser men have raised as much or more money for far less just causes. Mark LaRue changed his position on bump stocks, and for a man to publicly change his position is rare. His change of heart was not because he suddenly saw them as a tactical weapons platform, but he recognized the underlying legal issues and potential for cascading failure to more precious things, and when he saw the potential for collateral damage he was man enough not only to change, but to become the largest fundraiser for the fight. It is so rare for a successful and prideful man to change his position on something so polarizing, and to do so in such bold fashion, that it is both astounding and awe inspiring.

I'm spent. The fight is now academic to me. Better men than I may still have skin in the game, but after a year and half I'm all out of hope or answers.

Weep not for the bump stocks, or even or 2a, but for the death of our republic, and the global stability and prosperity it is responsible for.

The fate if the free world will be decided in short time I fear.

I like to think we will only be pushed so far, if it was to keep moving the wrong direction. Somethings got to give, and it can't be us.

It only dies if you give up.

Except for our resident old ass retired guys, no one else has a damn excuse.

You put way too much faith and allegiance to a legal system meant to fuck you in the ass.

So unless you like taking it in the ass, starting thinking about what it will take to win.  To truly secure liberty in this nation.

Being a compliant lap dog is exactly what they hope for, it makes their job so EASY.

This isn't ONE person letting you down, it multiple people, agencies, and branches of government all deliberately oppressing you.

So just how many Conservative voters are now Felons because of Trump?  
As many people that still have bumpstocks

I blame Trump yes..... BUT there are others....

NRA for wanting "additional restrictions" and then NOT helping at all with the ban
ATF for bypassing Congress in changing the definition of machine gun
Barr for signing it
and every last SOB that supports the ban
You actually think revving Congress up during the absolute HEAT of the Las Vegas thing would have been any kind of strategic good idea?

Have you paid any attention at all to New Zealand?

They'd have passed a confiscatory ban of semi-autos to thunderous applause.

Part of the way this played out was a function of time.

In fact, part of my problem with this litigation is that it could be briefed and argued before we get that one additional vote on SCOTUS to guaranty a win.

(Although even a win will simply open it back up in Congress, which has never relaxed limitations of rapid fire in nearly a century).

That fight is happening in California.

All the Marbles are up for play in the Big Game.
