Scariest ruling I've seen in a long time. Shocked no one cares about this. This has implications far beyond guns.

The Judge doesnt even cite SCOTUS ruling in Horne v. Dept of Agriculture from 2015 that says private property cant be physically taken for any reason.

If the government can take any property they deem dangerous, we have no property rights. This is the first time the federal government has really made people destroy or turn in property. I hope this is appealed or we are all screwed.

Our constitution is nothing but a piece of paper. Gov does what they want. Oh, they throw us a bone sometimes (as in winning our case), but it's all show. Eventually, we'll wind up like Cuba, or China. It takes time, another hundred years perhaps, but the handwriting is on the wall.

However, Senior Circuit Judge Loren A. Smith found that the government's rule fell within a common exception to the Fifth Amendment: property that is confiscated to advance the government's interest in promoting public safety.

"The law is different in this case because the government, as the sovereign, has the power to take property that is dangerous, diseased, or used in criminal activities without compensation," Smith wrote. "Here, ATF acted properly within the confines of the limited federal police power."

"[Senior Circuit Judge] Loren A. Smith was appointed a judge of the United States Court of Federal Claims by President Ronald Reagan on July 11, 1985, and entered duty on September 12, 1985. He was designated Chief Judge on January 14, 1986, also by President Reagan. After serving 15 years as Chief Judge, Judge Smith took senior status on July 10, 2000. "

I guess the Hughs Amendment wasn't sufficient.  I was fully expecting him to be an Obama appointee.

What about gold in the early 1930's?

I would imagine that the fed  govt calling in all the gold in circulation would've been a little more alarming than not reimbursing for bump stocks.

Same ruling will be applied if Betacuck Fake Messican Bobby O'Rourke or any Demmunist gets into Congress and passes the mandatory gun buy back laws, the law will still stand, weapons will be required to be turned in for destruction, but no compensation will be given.

It's going to be awkward someday when they push too far and cities across America turn into what Mexico looked like last week.  I don't want that. But I also don't want the worse evil of the Left's absolute tyranny and incoming famine and genocide if they took all power and took our most important rights away.  It's shitty.  Why can't they just stop and not ruin a good thing? ...

That's the total bullshit of it. There is no public safety exception to the Second Amendment. Nor is safety actually a concern, as bump stocks are almost never used in crimes.

Tyrants want your guns so that they can do tyrannical things. Never forget it.
