Unconstitutional executive action at its finest...
Via the Washington Post:
The federal government has only just begun the process of banning bump stocks for firearms, but Second Amendment groups are already lining up to challenge whatever theJustice Departmentproduces.
Americans have a right to the aftermarket gun accessory, the groups insist, and the Obama administration repeatedly said it didn’t have the power to regulate bump stocks en masse without changes to federal law.
That could undercut the Trump administration’s attempt to write a ban without authority fromCongress.
“I think you’re definitely going to see a challenge — perhaps multiple challenges,” said Brandon Combs, president of the Firearms Policy Coalition.
The coalition said it has already retained attorneys to prepare for the legal fight.
