Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era federal ban on bump stocks



Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era federal ban on bump stocks
The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that a "bump stock" attachment does not convert a semiautomatic rifle into a "machine gun," which is prohibited under federal law. The 6-3 vote aligned with the conservative supermajority's previous decisions in gun cases, such as its 2022 decision to expand gun rights.

Strange Day

 First the ATM took my card and said to see a teller. OK, did that, and got my card 2 hours later spent mostly waiting. The ATM is a 30 minute drive from my casita.

Next, The grocery store was packed, which surprised me as most tourists leave when the rainy season starts. And it is raining hard.

Then my cell phone stopped working. Oh Joy! Black screen. no response. Just shoot me.

I will return tomorrow unless unforeseen circumstances arise. I'm not leaving my casita, for maybe a month or longer.


I crave some peace.
