The Supreme Court Passes on Two Bump Stock Cases. And What That Means to You

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the recent denial of a Writ of Certiorari to the United States Supreme Courtr in the matter of GOA v, Garland. This suit, originating out of the 6th Circuit, aimed to overturn ATF's ban on bump stocks in December of 2018. As some of you may recall, ATF, which had previously approved such devices, did a 180 after President Trump asked ATF to consider banning them after the horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas in October of 2017.

But this rejection of a petition for review tells us a lot more about where this Court is at when it comes to bump fire technology which is that they are more than happy to let ATF's determinations remain in place for now. Moreover, when we look at what the chances that Operation Reticent Recall will, at some point, be overturned by appellate fiat, we see the unwillingness of the Court to step into this arena. Learn what all of this really means to you and arm yourself with education today.
