Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson must have fallen asleep last night watching a vintage '80s Chuck Norris movie as part of her preparation to hear oral arguments today in the Garland v. Cargill bumpstock ban lawsuit because her understanding of firearms is even less realistic than your typical Cannon Films production.
While I don't have the transcript yet for you — arguments are going on as I write this column — the Firearms Policy Coalition has been doing the good work of posting highlights to Twitter/X.
(Don't miss the update below from the official transcript.)
When it was time for the Biden Department of Justice to present its side to the Court, Justice Clarence Thomas asked what happens, according to the FPC, "with the trigger in a bump stocked rifle vs a full-auto rifle."
Please don't wet yourself laughing when you read the government's response.

The government says that bump stocks allow you to shoot 600 times a second

Clickbait. So what was the dumbest thing?
See thread right below this one for details.
“The government says that bump stocks allow you to shoot 600 times a second”
“over a billion three hundred million trillion three hundred million”
Joe Biden
Kunta Kinte dun jumped da broom! Merry Kwanzaa and a hap hap happy umpteenth.
600 rps... that’s six times faster than the M134 Minigun rate of fire!!
So does that mean that the nasty 30 round high capacity magazine will be emptied in 0.05 SECONDS??
Now I want a bump stock.
And yet they get to rule on this, in all their self righteous
stupidity.
We are so screwed.
Where do we get the belt fed AR-15s and AR-10s?
[And a pickup bed sized ammo box?]
Jackson and Sotomayor.
The two stooges.
I am afraid I don’t see any humor in unqualified affirmative action hires on the SCOTUS blabbing about important cases.
This is what the left truly believe.
Anyone know where I can pick up my magic 600/RPS bumpstock?
The four Vulcans I had in my first platoon in Germany in 1977 could not fire that fast all together. Must be some new technology!
Doctor my eyes...
How would she know????... She is not a gunsmith.
Any more than she is a biologist to know what a woman is.
Bkmk
“Justice” Jackson, the ultimate Affirmative Action Post Turtle.
Doesn’t know much of anything, from biology (what is a woman?) or physics (that rapid fire would quickly melt the barrel, which is why Gatling guns have multiple barrels).
One suspects she doesn’t know much about the law or legal precedent, either.
Still, the rounds from the AV8 Harrier “Warthog” from the GAU-8 rotary cannon on an A-10 travel at 3324 Feet Per Second. That’s the equivalent of 2266 MPH or almost Mach 3, nearly three times the speed of sound.
The 25 mm Gatling cannon. Fires HE shells that are useful against other aircraft for Within Visual Range (WVR) dogfights.
It has an effective firing range of 1,400 metres, and can attain a fire rate of up to 3,000 rounds per minute along with a muzzle velocity of 1,040 m/s.
