I'm planning to go down to the Supreme Court to protest their awful bump stocks decision with a flag that I made. It’s white and has yellow-and-orange flames around it. And in the middle is the word vergogna.
Hopefully this doesn’t surprise anyone. Conservatives want to “protect children” only as a phrase to cover for bigoted attacks on transgenders, they don’t actually want to protect all children, just their own children. Wait, scratch that, seeing as how most pedophiles are actually middle aged white men, and most middle aged white men are conservative, I guess you can’t even say conservatives want to protect their own children.
Well fuck you kiddos, if the white dudes can’t give you a lollipop, then they’re gonna use you for target practice. I guess run when you see a white dude?
The sad thing is, this isn't the worst decision SCROTUS will serve up this term. You just know they're storing up a huge, steaming turd of an opinion on Trump's claim to be a forever-immune God-Emperor.
The proliferation of gun insanity is one of the major reasons if left my home country for more sane environs........this saddens me to no end. Thanks for the post Doc......my brother was a Boise firefighter for 35 years........I grew up in Fruitland and Ontario. left when I was 18 for the Air Force and never moved back........
I have a silly pig-ignorant question about the trigger part of this nightmare equation. Right now, someone using a bump stock still has to pull the trigger for each shot. Am I correct in assuming the pull has some degree of resistance in it? It requires some effort?
If this isn’t already a thing, to me it seems obvious that once you have a bump stock, the obvious complementary new gun modification is to remove the need to pull the trigger. Ideally, I suspect, gun fanatics would want it so the forward motion of the gun supplies enough force to fire the next shot. The gun then would be constantly ricocheting between recoiling and firing. All the shooter would have to do is hold on. (I suppose they could also put in a way to stop the cycle prematurely.)
I’m slightly concerned about how fast I thought of this.
The same effect could be accomplished by a device that causes the trigger finger to move, or equivalently by a mechanical trigger finger, which is euphemistically called “full auto”.
The stupidity and lack of reasoning of those with degrees in law is astounding.
As I understand it, technically what happens is, the bump stock allows the gun to go back far enough that the trigger resets, then pushes it forward against the firer's finger, which is still crooked into a firing position, causing the trigger to be "pulled" again. And again. And again until you've emptied your 30 round clip in less than 10 seconds, instead of the 20-30 it would take you to do it by yourself. Now, like most fully-automatic fire, your accuracy is shit with your gun both bouncing back and forth and kicking from recoil, but anyone that has one of these doesn't really give a shit about that. They just want the hard-on they get from hearing that "ratatatat" sound of rapid fire.
i don't want to be too No True Scotsman ... but these are not useful devices to any responsible gun owner. they serve no practical purpose and make a gun less useful. these are only things that people whose entire personality is "gun" want.
if they just want to shoot a million rounds at a gun range... they should be limited to a gun range. like the range owns them and rents them out. no individual ownership. they serve no purpose elsewhere. regardless of how many feral hogs might run through your yard.
if they wanted to placate the gun cummers so badly they should've done something useful like make suppressors easier to get (a thing Trump could've easily accomplished in his 4 years but did not). they are actually useful and make shooting safer (well... "safer"). there is a reason they are pretty easy to get in numerous European countries (either tied to a gun license or hunting license... or simply zero regulation at all. some places you can make your own if you want too). because they recognize they are not cartoonishly silly like in the movies.
the restrictions on buying a suppressor vs. a bump stock should be swapped if it is an absolute necessity they both remain legal to own.

Kyle Rittenhouse promptly made a comment online. "Time to celebrate and go buy a bump stock!"
I have no possible response that wouldn't be instantly banned.
playing Calvinball with the meaning of words. I hate these fuckers.
oh boy, do I have so many thoughts on this and almost all of them are banhammerable.
I rather hug my emergency puppy and every non-commenter by proxy.
Boy oh boy, that there is some high velocity, large caliber sophistry those rightwing hacks on SCROTUS used in this case.
argle bargle word salad. Plato would have left in a huff.
The "pro-life" party just made mass killing easier.
Time to design and market the "hump stock," so the gunhumpers can fellate (or otherwise pleasure) their guns at a faster rate of fire.
Sotomayor quoted verbatim excerpts from the 6 majority jerks where the talked about the plain meaning of words.

and it won't be precedent for any other ruling, voila! trump is king.
Shoot up their building, they might get the hint. Or just raise the money for bribes. It's what they respond to, threats and money

I like option #1, since there is at least SOME chance of hitting a RWNJ.

Yeah, but where’d ya go? No matter where ya go, there ya are.
I live on the coast of The Gulf of Siam in Western Thailand......
That’s nice… in the tsunami offseason.
I live in the Northern part of the gulf........but yeah, I like it......

You know, for feral hogs!
