Correct 100%. Bad facts, in a divided court, WILL result in bad law that will not help us in any way.If they are going to hear 2A cases (the USSC turns down the vast majority of appeals) then we want them to only rule on cases which have great facts for us. The bump stock ban is not our ideal vehicle for 2A rulings.
Also,
1. Bump stocks are debate-ably linked to the 2A. Not even all gun enthusiasts agree they are protected or necessary to a functional 2A.
2. There are 9 possible votes, and 4 are right now guaranteed to vote against them. At best, a win is a coin toss, and winning opinion will be a split court and a watered down opinion. At worst, we lose and set long-term bad precedent.
In my LEGAL, TACTICAL, and pro-2A view, let this one go at least for now. Your rights are not being infringed. You have a great functional 2nd Amendment.
Let's be tactically smart. It's not wise to just do a full straight on charge of the dug in enemy in a bunker. You have to maneuver and be patient a bit. In 5 years if we have a 7-2 or 6-3 stacked Constitutional Court, let's revisit this.
