Justices reverse federal judge’s order that allowed manufacturers to sell unregulated kits that convert into firearms

The US supreme court on Monday barred two Texas-based manufacturers from selling products that can be quickly converted at home into firearms called “ghost guns”, granting a request by Joe Biden’s administration to once again block a federal judge’s order that had sided with companies.

The justices lifted Fort Worth-based judge Reed O’Connor’s 14 September injunction barring enforcement of a 2022 federal regulation – a rule aimed at reining in the privately made firearms – against the two manufacturers, Blackhawk Manufacturing and Defense Distributed.

Can you tell us more about your Rambo fantasy where you fight the big bad government with your very cool and very masculine guns?

USA is the current global superpower that is literally unrivaled by any civilisation in history.

Meanwhile some uneducated farmers and mountain herders with AKs from Vietnam and Afghanistan both pushed the shit back up USA's ass. Don't need Rambo or Gravy Seals to defeat a global superpower.

Now do it without a literal ocean to transport supplies and troops over, without multiple surrounding hostile countries. Afghanistan was a failure of logistics and political will, not the victory of the AK over the military.

Now do it where the "bad guys" look and act exactly the same as the soldiers.

Your snarkiness aside, Your stance seems to be "if it's hard don't fight"

I'm sure the Revolution would have went well with that mentality
