A replacement for r/firearms. From the subreddit - "Discuss firearms, politics, 2nd amendment news. We value freedom of speech as much as we do the right to keep and bear arms. Posts must be somewhat related to firearms." I removed the ~~must comply with Global Reddit Rules~~, because we don't take nicely to totalitarianism here.

If the Supreme Court rules that bump stocks aren’t machine guns later this summer, it could quickly open an unfettered marketplace of newer, more powerful rapid-fire devices.

The Trump administration, in a rare break from gun rights groups, quickly banned bump stocks after the 2017 mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert that was the deadliest in U.S. history. In the ensuing years, gun rights groups challenged the underlying rationale that bump stocks are effectively machine guns — culminating in a legal fight now before the Supreme Court.

The author thinks that the NFA of 1934 somehow banned machine guns. That is wrong. The author also things that the 1986 Hughes amendment was banning existing machine guns. That is wrong.
