I think Gorsuch gets it based upon his questions. He inquires as to why after almost a century the bump stock is suddenly characterized as a machine gun by an administratively agency. He also believes if necessary it should be done by Congress.

Gorsuch brings up the fact that a half million people depended upon previous interpretations that the bump stock was NOT a machine gun and the change in the rule turns them into a federal felon.

I wish judges were required to take in-depth firearms training classes so they would at least know the difference between a semiautomatic and automatic firearm.

And businesses like RW Arms had a million bucks worth of inventory, relying on those previous 15 ATF determinations that they were making legal products.

Then Trump changed his mind about what the law said and those businesses had a very expensive disposal problem on their hands.

Fifth amendment? Just compensation? What do those things mean?
