The Spin

Right narrative

This is a dangerous SCOTUS decision that enables the government to further encroach on second amendment liberties by defining thousands of bump stock owners as felons. This will only embolden the executive branch to pursue its goal of criminalizing all gun ownership.

Left narrative

Lower courts were correct to leave the ban in place and, together with this SCOTUS decision, Americans are being protected from future massacres akin to the tragedy that occurred in Las Vegas. Dangerous bump stocks, which are correctly categorized by the ATF, will become harder to obtain by criminals and lawful gun users alike.
