Bump Stock Ban Lawsuits?

14206 Views 230 Replies 27 Participants Last post by  Malum Prohibitum
What is the general concession on the pending lawsuits? Will there been an injunction to stop or postpone the outlawing of bump stocks?

Most concise article I've seen on the illegalities of the ban:

Any lawyer will tell you when you walk into the courtroom the best odds you can get are 50/50.
50:50 that it will be stopped? I would think that with the multiple lawsuits and the nature of the suits that it will at least be postponed until a final ruling can be made?

I don't think I have ever told a client that.
well, in the law nothing is certain but the expense.

I always told them the chances were 50/50. We would win or lose.

But with facts, circumstances and case law we had a poor, fair, good, or excellent chance of getting what we wanted.

Your clients must have never asked you what their odds of winning were.

I can't claim never to have said that, but it's not the norm.

I voted "No" only based on the compensation argument made in the OP article. I don't want to see the ban overturned due to lack of compensation. That could potentially be rectified and then the ban still stands. I want to see the ban permanently overturned because the ATF is basing their ban off of purely political motivations and also claiming that "A" magically becomes "B" based on violating known physical laws.

I think you're in luck. The remedy for lack of compensation is compensation, not undoing the taking.

That's a silly assumption to make, and a non sequitur.
Prompting the immediate filing of an appeal to the DC Court of Appeals.

A Notice of Appeal requesting was filed Monday by attorneys Stephen D. Stemboulieh and Alan Alexander Beck with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia after the United States District Court issued an order denying a preliminary injunction in challenges to the Trump administration's "bump stock" ban. The appeal "would further request expedited treatment in this appeal due to the urgency of the Final Rule going into effect on March 26, 2019."
Gee, it's almost is if they expected the lower court to ignore the law.
She further admits that critical terms such as "single function of the trigger" and "automatically" are "ambiguous,"
WTH?!?
ambiguous
[am-big-yoo-uhs]
adjective
open to or having several possible meanings or interpretations

That article made my head hurt!

I'm sure that was just coincidence. :lol:
