The Consensus Court
Advisory Opinions
Interpretation of the Machine Gun Act and Bump Stocks Ban
The chapter explores the dissenting opinion on the 1934 machine gun act, where Justice Thomas argues for considering bump stock-equipped semi-automatic rifles as machine guns based on their continuous firing capability. The conversation also touches on the need for legislative action by Congress to address issues like the ban on bump stocks rather than relying solely on judicial or executive decisions. Additionally, discussions on originalist interpretations of statutes and the role of Congress in making legislative decisions are highlighted throughout the chapter.
