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." There is no constitutional exception to the 5th amendment for "public safety". Nor is there a power of eminent domain elsewhere described in that document "for the purpose of public safety." Eminent domain is referred to only for public use. How can a taking be for public use something that the government is ordering to be surrendered or destroyed for no use, whatsoever? As far as "the sovreign" goes... no, that's also completely bass ackwards. The government doesn't have power as a result of it's "sovreignty." It has powers by endowment. It has only those powers it has been given by the people through the written US Constitution. That's literally the only thing that makes it legitimate. If the government has the authority to ban guns and order them destroyed with no compensation due to their owners, because of its "limited Federal police power" (limited by what? Where are these limits described?) then what's to say it can't ban ownership of cars and do exactly the same thing? If we're just going to say the government can ban anything if the government decides it's dangerous, then there is NO "limit" to what the government may ban. Fuck this guy. Mouth-breathing retard. And that's being generous. My cynical side thinks he knows he's full of shit. |

Activist judges have subverted any idea of judicial impartiality.
The legislature is corrupt, the judiciary is corrupt, bureaucrats in the executive agencies are corrupt. We are just a few heartbeats away from a totalitarian state. |

Democrats / communist always play the long game.
They know that many will not turn their stuff in, but after you pass your children will. Or they will get it when you go into a nursing home. Or as part of your estate. Same thing with full auto stuff. If no more is being made, the total number will eventually drop to zero. They are evil and patient. They have been heading down this path for years. |

OP,
The reason many of us “cared” about bump stocks was: The device meets the definition of semiautomatic fire as ruled by the ATF multiple times; The Donald, a NON-TECH/NON-GUN guy suddenly declares they’re illegal & he “doesn’t like them” and blamed Obama for allowing them, then banned them; No remuneration was provided to owners; Many semiautomatic rifles & pistols can be “bump fired” if they’re help properly, thus any can—in the future—capriciously be declared “machine guns;” The fact ATF reversed itself again isn’t surprising, they should be called the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, Explosives & Whimsy. But the hard fact is that a bumpstock is NOT a machine gun, and isn’t a gun alone, like silencers. This is like saying the tomato—a fruit, is now a vegetable. Oh wait, the NY .gov changed this scientific FACT for taxation purposes. Further, the .gov can ban any item regardless of facts & make you a felon, and not pay you for their whimsy. If this shit happened with women, gays, or minorities—my tax dollars would be thrown at reimbursement to those slighted snowflakes without regard; the fact that mostly white men are effected factors into the “no fuqs given” by the .gov. Any constitutionalists or gun owners who aren’t enraged by this ruling simply do not “get it” and are dangerous to other 2A and constitutionalists. |

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. |

The entire fallacy of forced acceptance of "compensation", or "buying back" are fake, red herring concepts to paper over acts of confiscation.
If I wanted the cash rather than the firearm I wouldn't have bought it, or I would have chosen to sell it of my own free will. |

Forced acceptance of compensation is worse than outright confiscation because it falsely justifies the seizing of legally acquired, constutionally protected property from Americans.

Third holes are visible from the outside of a weapon. A DIAS is not, though it does require an M16 FCG to be installed. A DIAC or swiftlink has the additional benefit of working with standard AR15 FCG's and is small enough to fit in a small pocket or cubby when not in use. |

These actions may include extortion, blackmail, torture, threats to induce favors, or even sexual assault. In law, coercion is codified as a duress crime. Such actions are used as leverage, to force the victim to act in a way contrary to their own interests. Coercion may involve the actual infliction of physical pain/injury or psychological harm in order to enhance the credibility of a threat. The threat of further harm may lead to the cooperation or obedience of the person being coerced. MAGA!
