Supreme Court Justice Makes Insanely False Gun Claim

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson seems to think bump stocks turn rifles into
the fastest firing weapons ever designed.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case to determine whether the
federal ban on bump stocks issues by the ATF will stand or be struck down. The core of
the issue is the ATF - not Congress - issued a ruling to ban them. Congress is supposed to
make the laws. The ATF enforces them.

A bump stock is a piece of cheap plastic that replaces a rifle's regular stock, and uses a
weapon's natural recoil to increase the rate of fire by driving the trigger back to the shooter's
finger. The weapon still needs the trigger pulled for every shot, but it does allow an increase
in how that can happen. The newest Supreme Court Justice is under the impression it can fire
at a rate no human has ever seen before.

"The function of this trigger is to cause this kind of damage, 800 rounds a second or whatever,"
Justice Jackson incorrectly claimed during the Wednesday oral arguments.

That's right, folks. Ketanji Brown Jackson thinks a bump stock is capable of a gun being able to
fire "800 rounds a second or whatever," which translates to 48,000 rounds a minute. It's such a
comically false and absurd claim that I had to triple check to make sure it was real.

To make matters even more embarrassing for the Justices on the court, Justice Sotomayor felt the
need to ask why anyone with arthritis should even be allowed to possess weapons with high rates
of fire.

"Why would even a person with arthritis, why would Congress think they needed to shoot 400 to 7
or 800 rounds of ammunition under any circumstance," Sotomayor asked. Apparently, you lose your
Second Amendment rights if you have arthritis in her mind.

It's also worth noting these rates of fire also don't mean anything when it comes to total firepower,
because the standard AR-15 and AK-47 magazine holds 30 rounds. You can't fire ammo you don't
have. Having a rate of fire of 600 rounds a minute is awesome.

It also means you'll have to reload 20 times before hitting your 600th shot. Of course, everyone who
has any experience with guns knows this. Clearly, KBJ doesn't, and I'm not even sure what Sotomayor
is talking about when it comes to arthritis. Just complete nonsense.

We have reached the unfortunate place where those who make decisions about what we can use and how we can use it have no clue as to what we are using nor how we propose to use it.

It is pitiful that those charged with settling fundamental issues about the passage of laws, get sidelined into discussions of the matter of the law without any background knowledge of the subject of the law, but it typifies the trend of people doing something other than their jobs in obfuscation of the fact they are often not qualified to do the job they were hired for.

It doesn't help that she's simply an idiot.

400/800 rounds per second (assuming you had a 10,000 round mag) - the barrel would begin to glow red and would warp and bend making the weapon useless. You would get less than 5 seconds of fire before you need a new weapon.

Hell, your trigger finger would melt.
