Justices reject appeal of federal ban on firearm bump stocks

5. Interesting comments from Justice Gorsuch, even though he agreed the case did not merit review:

"The agency used to tell everyone that bump stocks don't qualify as 'machine guns,'" he wrote. "Now it says the opposite. The law hasn't changed, only an agency's interpretation of it. And these days it sometimes seems agencies change their statutory interpretations almost as often as elections change administrations." He wondered why the courts should defer "to such bureaucratic pirouetting."
