Correct. The only way to carve out a loophole for bumpstocks under the federal ban is to torture the words of the statute until they mean something different from the plain text. Which is exactly what the Supreme Court just did. https://t.co/cBv9nHuCon

Listen to the gunfire in these videos from the Las Vegas shooting. Automatic fire—a continuous spray of bullets enabled by a bumpstock. 60 people slaughtered in 10 minutes from 490 yards away. This is what the Supreme Court just legalized. https://t.co/NodYjeFuDL
