“We remain convinced that the courts will consign this unlawful, unconstitutional ban to the trash bin of history, where it belongs.” – Michael Hammond
Springfield, VA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Gun Owners of America (GOA) legislative counsel, Michael Hammond, responded to the Supreme Court’s denial of a stay on the enforcement of the bump stock ban:
“Gun Owners of America is disappointed that the Supreme Court has refused to issue a stay while our challenge to the administration’s illegal bump stock ban is being considered by the courts.
“While GOA cannot advocate that its members violate the law, we predict, given our experience with nine states with similar bans, that a large majority of the 500,000 bump stock owners will refuse to turn in their property in what they view as an illegal, unconstitutional gun grab.
“GOA will continue to fight the issue in the court system, as the case now returns to the lower courts. We remain convinced that the courts will consign this unlawful, unconstitutional ban to the trash bin of history, where it belongs.”

Reminder – There Is A Way To Keep Your Bump Stocks While The Lawsuit Works Its Way Through The Courts
There is a stay in place for select group of people and this might be an option for you if you still have your bump stock. From a previous alert:
One of the other groups fighting the ban, the Firearms Policy Foundation, was able to get the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to apply a stay to their members only. The good news is that you can join the Firearms Policy Foundation for as little as $1 and be covered by their blanket stay.

Wasn’t it Roberts that gave us ObamaCare as long as it was called a tax?
The Supreme Court better realize that they can be considered a part of the Deep State if they do NOT follow the Constitution!
Every time I see a news story about the bump stock ban, I have to ask, why in hell should gun owners EVER AGAIN give a single thin dime to the surrender monkeys at Negotiating Rights Away, for their meeting with Trump and pressuring him to go ahead and ban bump-stocks! Trump didn’t just wake up and say ‘lets ban bump stocks’; he met with NRA honchos who TOLD HIM TO DO IT, AND THAT THEY WOULD GIVE HIM POLITICAL COVER IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS! So phuck you, Not Really Americans, for selling the rest of us up the river… Read more »

I’ve said it here before and I’ll say it now. This is exactly what We get for thinking that 9 people with different agendas and no real desire to uphold the Constitution. Would honor their commitment to abide by the Constitution. As long as We allow them to interpret it to enforce the Agenda of those in Power. We will always loose. One more step backwards. Closer to the abyss of Tyranny. Keep Your Powder Dry.
I Thought Trump was supposed to pack the court with 2a supporters… Rolled again.
