These simple devices harness a rifle\u2019s recoil energy to slide the rifle back and forth and repeatedly \u201cbump\u201d the shooter\u2019s stationary trigger finger, creating rapid fire.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This affirmation follows years of discussion about the commonality of certain firearms and their classification under various laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Sotomayor, AR-15s are widely used and owned, which places them outside the scope of restrictions typically applied to &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/progunleaders.org\/Dangerous%20and%20Unusual\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ar-bans-dead-forever\" title=\"AR Bans Dead Forever?\">dangerous and unusual weapons<\/a>,&#8221; per the <em>Heller<\/em> decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-implications-for-gun-control\"><strong>Implications for Gun Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This dissent could impact all AR bans previously brought before the courts. With Sotomayor\u2019s statement, every case involving AR-15 bans will likely cite this decision.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This development is especially significant in light of previous rulings, such as the <em>Heller<\/em> and <em>Bruen<\/em> decisions, which laid the groundwork for this latest outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, because <em>Heller<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/supct\/html\/07-290.ZS.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ar-bans-dead-forever\" title=\"AR Bans Dead Forever?\">stated<\/a>, in essence, that bans on firearms in common use for traditionally lawful purposes are unconstitutional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ARs officially fit that bill now, at least according to Sotomayor. Ergo, any state ban on them would have to be nixed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bump-stock-ban-overturned\"><strong>Bump Stock Ban Overturned<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cargill case also addressed the controversial bump stock ban, initially imposed by the Trump administration and upheld by the Biden administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court found that classifying bump stocks as machine guns was an overreach, stretching the statutory definition too far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This aspect of the ruling focuses on the overreach of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) in interpreting congressional law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-braden-s-final-reflections\">Braden&#8217;s <strong>Final Reflections<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Braden stated in the video: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>When you look at what they&#8217;ve done, their push in the last five years around interpretation changes through the ATF and the executive bureaucracy at the behest of the White House, the executive branch, which is not charged with making laws\u2014that&#8217;s Congress&#8217;s job\u2014they overstepped their bounds. They overstepped the separation of powers through their ATF overreach. And now, because they are angry and they want to write a really fiery dissent and get on the record how angry they are, they just undermined AR bans and AR cases going forward. So now you&#8217;ve got a lovely little triumvirate of decision cases from the <em>Heller<\/em> decision, which laid the foundation, the <em>Bruen<\/em> decision, which built a nice little house on top of it, and the <em>Cargill<\/em> case, which put one of those rooster weather vanes on top to make it all the cute little farmhouse appeal. This is a really big deal, guys, particularly since other AR bans are up for consideration. You&#8217;re still waiting to hear the <em>Chevron<\/em> case, which is going to be a massive one, and also the <em>Rahimi<\/em> case. This is a big deal.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What do you think of Braden&#8217;s take?  Did Sotomayor just make it harder for anti-gun politicians to ban modern sporting rifles?  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ar-bans-dead-forever\" title=\"AR Bans Dead Forever?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justice Sotomayor&#8217;s dissent confirmed that AR-15s are in common use, a significant point in the ongoing debate over gun control. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":203762,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-203674","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AR Bans Dead Forever?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the implications of a left-leaning judge&#039;s dissent on AR bans.
