To the ignorant and opportunistic, Friday’s Supreme Court decision invalidating a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms regulation that had banned a firearm accessory known as the “bump stock” looks like a Second Amendment decision. The Supreme Court invalidated federal law that restricted gun ownership, therefore this must have been a Second Amendment decision.

But in this case, Garland v. Cargill, the Second Amendment had nothing to do with the reasoning of the Court and anyone who suggests otherwise is letting Congress off for not doing its job of legislating.
