So #SCOTUS admits they can prevent abusers from owning guns. So why can't they ban bump stocks? (Also of course Thomas is the objector.)

@queenofnewyork No, that's not what happened. SCOTUS didn't do anything here.

Congress wrote the law to prevent abusers from owning guns, not the Supreme Court. Same with bump stocks: Congress could write a law to to ban them, but they haven't.

If we want the law changed we have to stop reelecting the same congresspeople who fail to change it.

The Supreme Court can't do Congress's job, though.
