It helps when you know how an item works….

And machine guns aren’t illegal FYI. They’re regulated with a higher degree of scrutiny. See how I used language I thought you’d get?

They’re only illegal in certain states. Look up “transferable machine gun”.

And all gun laws are illegal, so there’s that. The NFA is unconstitutional.

If the government can own a firearm I should have the right to own the damn firearm w/o being on someone’s registry and I should not have to pay a special tax of ownership. That’s my opinion.

... A machine gun must be registered under the NFA, and to buy one you do need to be cleared for transfer of ownership after paying $200 for the transfer stamp. Unless there is a state law requiring a permit, none is required

OK. Here's my perspective on the legal end of this: The case was decided correctly based on code law. Full stop.

Yet, The Second Amendment gives a right that shall not be abridged with- some exceptions such as for felons and machine gun possession.

Machine guns are "abridged" because they fire at a certain rate.

Bump-stocks fire at a similar, albeit lower rate.

So why, as with a machine gun, isn't a bump-stock illegal too?

Just trying to make sense of where the line is drawn and by what means you use to figure it out?

Machinegun
The term “machinegun” means any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.

Many of the laws ARE unconstitutional.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT be infringed. Any law that infringes on the right to have and to carry arms is unconstitutional. Permits? Unconstitutional.

Now... convicted felons not being allowed to have guns... that's common sense.
