There's a fallacy here.

When you REPLACE the fixed-stock of a semi-automatic weapon with a bump-stock, this converts it into a fully-automatic machine gun. Now if someone were to REPLACE the original sear in an AR-15 with an auto-sear, it would convert it into something very similar to an M16, that is, a fully-automatic machine gun.

Now what's the difference if in one case you REPLACED the stock, and you can now fire in a full-auto mode? Or if you REPLACED the sear, and you can now fire in a full-auto mode? What's different here?

In the second case, the law is very clear, and it's been backed-up by the courts, replacing the sear violates federal law. But now the Court is telling us that replacing a different part of the same exact weapon, which results in the same exact outcome, that's legal.

BREAKING: Supreme Court rules gun ‘bump stocks’ ban is unlawful
The Supreme Court ruled that federal ban on “bump stocks,” gun accessories that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more quickly, is unlawful in a loss for the Biden administration.

In a 6-3 ruling on ideological lines, with the court’s conservatives in the majority, the court held that an almost 100-year-old law aimed at banning machine guns cannot legitimately be interpreted to include bump stocks.
