> bumpstock ban
This is another trojan horse.
(a) NO ONE wanted bump stocks. They are useless. It's a fun toy and gimmick but no real usefulness in combat, self-defense, battle, etc...
(b) By forcing the ATF to take this all the way to the Supreme Court, they showed that the executive branch CANNOT invent new laws like this. It has to go through congress.
Right now, we are talking about the fact that the ATF has NO POWER AT ALL because the laws are too vague, and they have no interpretive power. In other words, unless the law is extremely clear that X is banned or taxed, X cannot be banned or taxed.

In short, he almost overturned the NFA.
