<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point in time, it would be unimaginable that possession of a piece of plastic that attaches to a firearm would carry a penalty<\/a> of imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that is what President Donald Trump’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) did in the wake of the Las Vegas Shooting<\/a> by classifying bump stocks as “machineguns” under the National Firearms Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reclassification<\/a> effectively made law-abiding Americans’ lawfully purchased property illegal, despite the fact that President Barack Obama’s ATF had confirmed and reconfirmed that bump stocks were “firearm parts” and not subject to NFA restrictions in\u00a02010<\/a>,\u00a02012<\/a>, and again in\u00a02013<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the principal author of the 94\u2019 Assault Weapons Ban, believed that the Trump administration overreached when it prohibited the reciprocating stocks in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ATF currently lacks authority under the law to ban bump stocks. The agency made this clear in a 2013 letter to Congress, writing that \u2018stocks of this type are not subject to the provisions of federal firearms statutes.\u2019 The ATF director said the same thing to police chiefs a few months ago, which they confirmed in an open Judiciary Committee hearing,” Feinstein said at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ATF\u2019s ability to interpret the law and issue public or specifically addressed \u201cOpinion Letters<\/a>\u201d of a given federal statue stems from the Supreme Court case Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.<\/em> (467 U.S. 837 (1984)<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per the ruling, the Supreme Court has empowered agencies (such as ATF) to make determinations on an ambiguous or unclear statue so long as the\u00a0“interpretation is reasonable<\/a>,” and compels lower courts to defer to these agencies’ interpretations. This power handed to the bureaucratic state has become known as Chevron Deference<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a direct challenge to the ATF\u2019s reclassification of bump stocks, Damien Guedes of the Firearm Policy Coalition<\/a>, and other pro-gun groups, sued the ATF, it\u2019s acting director, and the attorney general, challenging President Trump\u2019s bump stock ban through\u00a0executive fiat<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their\u00a0petition<\/a>\u00a0to the Supreme Court, the plaintiffs outline that the court of appeals \u201capplied Chevron deference in a manner that stretches that doctrine beyond its breaking point,\u201d continuing, Chevron was never intended to be used as an \u201cinterpretation of a central element of a criminal statute,\u201d and concluded that the lower court\u2019s ruling \u201cconflicts with numerous holdings of this Court, mischaracterizes the nature of Chevron deference, distorts the litigation process and the government\u2019s prerogative regarding whether and how to exercise any implicitly delegated authority, and undermines fundamental tenets of our constitutional structure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday (3-1-2020), the Supreme Court denied Guedes’ writ of certiorari. Unlike most denials of a writ, where the public at large does not get an indication of the court\u2019s leanings of the case, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch released a separate statement<\/a> that gave more insight into the case’s standing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Gorsuch agreed with the petitioners that the Chevron Deference had been inappropriately applied in this case, and even noted that the Trump administration had also asked the lower courts to wave it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe executive branch and affected citizens asked the court to do what courts usually do in statutory interpretation disputes: supply its best independent judgment about what the law means,\u201d Justice Gorsuch remarked. \u201cBut, instead of deciding the case the old-fashioned way, the court placed an uninvited thumb on the scale in favor of the government.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\njustice went on to raise skepticism of the appropriateness in deferring to the\ngovernment\u2019s interpretation of the law in this case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\nlaw hasn\u2019t changed; only an agency\u2019s interpretation of it. And these days it\nsometimes seems agencies change their statutory interpretations almost as often\nas elections change administrations\u2026 Why should courts, charged with the\nindependent and neutral interpretation of the laws Congress has enacted, defer\nto such bureaucratic pirouetting?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately the justice sided with his colleagues that the court should wait to hear the case, noting that multiple lower courts are currently dealing with the prohibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore deciding whether to weigh in, we would benefit from hearing their considered judgments \u2014 provided, of course, that they are not afflicted with the same problems. But waiting should not be mistaken for lack of concern,” Gorsuch concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
