This is one of the rare times when Thomas is right and Justice Sotomayor is wrong. There are darn good reasons to ban bump stocks, but a statute that bans guns that shoot multiple rounds “by a single function of the trigger” doesn’t ban bump stocks. Responsibility for this belongs to Congress.

SCOTUS strikes down the bump-stock ban 6–3, usual lineup, in the last opinion of the day. Thomas writes.

Sometimes, statutes don’t say what we wish they said. The remedy is for the legislative branch to change the statute.
