CNN Loves Sotomayor’s ‘Fiery’ But Mostly Ignorant Dissent on Bump Stocks
15th June 2024
Friday marked a big win for gun rights advocates when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Trump administration-era ban on bump stocks by the ATF. In their immediate reactions to the 6-3 ruling, CNN Newsroom pontificators were largely unhappy with the court’s affirmation of a piece of plastic not being a machine gun and lauded the “fiery” dissenting opinion authored by liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Of course, the opinion just flaunted their ignorance of firearm mechanics.
The favorite Democrat term ‘assault weapon’ exemplifies this ignorance, both of firearm mechanics and of history.
