U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Firearms Policy Foundation released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court order and Justice Gorsuch’s statement in FPF’s Guedes v. BATFE litigation surrounding the unlawful and unconstitutional Trump Bump-Stock Ban:
The Court’s denial of certiorari of our interlocutory petition is far from the end of this important case. And there seems to be substantial support at the Court for our views about Chevron deference, suggesting the denial was more about timing and posture than substance.
As Justice Gorsuch noted in his Statement, this was a petition from an interlocutory appeal, and “waiting should not be mistaken for lack of concern.” Thus, we intend to bring a full record and final judgment back to the Supreme Court should the lower courts maintain their very wrong approach to Chevron deference, agency interpretation, and serious criminal law.
DAMIEN GUEDES, ET AL. v. BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES, ET AL.
As our litigation moves towards a final judgment at the trial court, we are hopeful that “errors apparent in this preliminary ruling might yet be corrected before final judgment.” But even if those errors are not corrected, Firearms Policy Foundation will continue to fight for the People that President Trump and his administration abandoned by lawlessly forcing them to dispossess their property and threatening them with federal prison time.
We will continue to update BumpstockCase.com with further case updates and filings.

Bump stocks don’t make a fully functional automatic m-16 rifle …I rather have the full auto sear than a plastic bump stock anyways…,
More proof that Firearms Policy Coalition and Gun Owners of America are the sharp end of the stick and that the NRA is not our friend.
Folks need to understand the power of the jury for one thing. And OBVIOUSLY a piece of plastic isn’t a machine gun. Like DUH?
The 1934 NFA defines a machine gun. The ATF cannot arbitrarily decide to change the definition, it takes Congress to change the law. And as pointed out, the ATF ruled it did not constitute a machine TWICE under obama because it did not fit the definition. I don’t think the Chevron defense applies in this case as the Law is very explicit as to what a machine gun is. www dot law dot cornell.edu/wex/chevron_deference “Generally, to be accorded Chevron deference, the agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous statute must be permissible” The Statute is hardly ambiguous as to what makes a… Read more »
Precedent is set, now the next time the dems are in the white house they will just ban whatever they want just like Trump did….
Maybe now all the TrumpTard lemmings will finally wake up about your orange blob, Constitution trampling career leftist plinko scum in chief that has now destroyed the 2nd amendment when he arbitrarily decreed through executive order fiat that the Constitution is as meaningless as the rule of law hes single handedly done more to destroy than any president in history (except maybe rino scum Bush & his un-patriot act.)
