Congress has long restricted access to “‘machinegun[s],’” a category of firearms defined by the ability to “shoot, automatically more than one shot … by a single function of the trigger.” 26 U. S. C. §5845(b); see also 18 U. S. C. §922(o). Semiautomatic firearms, which require shooters to reengage the trigger for every shot, are not machineguns. This case asks whether a bump stock—an accessory for a semiautomatic rifle that allows the shooter to rapidly reengage the trigger (and therefore achieve a high rate of fire)—converts the rifle into a “machinegun.” We hold that it does not and therefore affirm.

Spain’s been subjugated before. Please try this in Italy or Sicily.
People are already pointing out all the bumblef&cks is Sotomayor’s dissent. One involved her stating that AR’s were ‘commonly available’. Going to have fun trying to argue that one anymore.
We’ve come a long way… remember when a shoestring and an M1 Garand would get you jammed up?
