In the click-bait style of one-weird-trick life hacks, the original hacks of the Left flog their script of accusing others of “not caring” about their pet victim class du jour anytime their power is threatened.
Of course, 2024 election cycle is fueling the latest bit of Leftwing bully-hysterics. Sometimes with a jaw-dropping lack of self-awareness.
Let’s consider SCOTUS’ recent ruling on bump stocks, Garland v Cargill and its pretty straight forward reasoning.
The National Firearms Act of 1934 (“NFA”) defines a machine gun as “Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.” (snip)
In 2017, in the justifiably emotional aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting in American history, the federal government began looking at their authority to ban bump stocks. At the time, the Department of Justice determined that they had no such authority. Even anti-gun former Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) noted, regarding ATF, “that current law does not allow the agency to ban or regulate bump-fire stocks.”
Yet the DOJ and ATF actually followed the direction of then President Trump and banned them via agency decree.
Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns.

And this is where SCOTUS clarified that, regardless of any alleged merit to the banning, a bump stock is not a machine gun make under the plain wording of the Federal statue. Something that Justice Alito was clear to spell out:
The horrible shooting spree in Las Vegas in 2017 did not change the statutory text or its meaning. That event demonstrated that a semiautomatic rifle with a bump stock can have the same lethal effect as a machine gun, and it thus strengthened the case for amending §5845(b). But an event that highlights the need to amend a law does not itself change the law’s meaning.
No penumbras, emanations or Leftwing Ouija board can change the law as written.
That, my friends, is the job of Congress. You know, the legislative branch. Yet, such a non-controversial ruling is unacceptable to our anti-2A Lefties who then immediately went into YOU DON’T CARE! BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS! mode.
“The decision today is the most recent example of a court that has abdicated its responsibility to the American public. The court would rather, it seems, take an ideological stance and ignore the blood in our streets than allow such common-sense regulation as a bump stock ban to take effect.” Nev. AG Aaron Ford
BLOOD … ON … OUR … STREETS!!! Holy Frau Blucher! Cue the screaming horses!
“This bump stock decision by the United States Supreme Court is just crazy,” said Senator Richard Blumenthal. ““This decision is crazy because it legalizes machine guns”
Would someone please ask Dick if he can now walk into the local Bass Pro Shop and buy a ‘machine gun’? Then make him pee into a cup, m’kay?
“This disappointing decision is a serious threat to public safety. Bump stocks, however you define them, are dangerous.” CT AG William Tong.
“However you define them”? Mr. Tong can take his sniveling condescension back to high school civics class and relearn about the 3 branches of Federal government. Whether ‘dangerous’ or not, that was never the issue for SCOTUS to determine here.
So much yadda yadda yadda … the Left never cares that the courts are not the legislature. Their ‘compassion’ for victims, real or imagined, is to trump all procedures, law or even the Constitution. But then we get the same thing from the Left whenever their ideology is thwarted. The Left is the only moral force in the universe and disagreement is never valid.
And even if it takes the imams of Leftism to co-op Jesus to their pseudo-religion in attempts to browbeat heretics, well then …
Jesus Christ of Nazareth: “Heal the sick, feed the hunger, clothe the poor, do that in my name, I command it.”
Republicans: “mmmmm… no, I didn’t think so. That’s socialism.”
Happy Sunday, y’all! https://t.co/Ryx4gdPsIr

If I had a quarter for every time I had to listen to some bedlamite Leftist try to lecture us on what Jesus really meant … Jesus is a Socialist! Jesus is Trans! Jesus is Pro-Abortion! Jesus is open borders!
Jesus demands Caesar seize your neighbors’ crops and redistribute them for social justice!
The Left does to Jesus what it does to the Constitution. Both are just means to their ends — and the original intent of either the Founders or of the Biblical words in red are to be ‘reinterpreted’ to fit the Left’s goals. And when the Revolution resolves one issue to their favor, it moves (like devouring locusts) to the next one. Because …
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution.”
Remember in November.
