We say it a lot, but couldn't the people who argue the most loudly to take our guns away learn a little something about guns first? As we reported, after the Supreme Court struck down an ATF ban on bump stocks, Vox ran the headline, "The Supreme Court just effectively legalized machine guns." CNN was mocked for its 3D animation showing a recoil reduction stock instead of a bump stock, let alone adding a grenade launcher and suppressor to their assault rifle.

Gun control group Giffords has put up a petition calling on Congress to ban bump stocks, which is exactly what the Supreme Court told them they had to do. Stephen Gutowski, who does know a thing or two about guns, pointed out that Giffords doesn't.
TAKE ACTION 📣📣📣
The Supreme Court may have struck down the federal ban on bump stocks, but we can still undo their shameful decision.

It even got a Community Note:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The diagram is that of an adjustable butt stock, not a bump stock.
We want to ban the thing that isn't in the picture.
This isn't a bump stock. It's a telescoping stock. https://t.co/uQ4amvFjoS

(A telescoping stock is just a stock that allows the user to adjust its length)

They want to ban guns.
Doesn’t matter. We’ll be keeping both regardless of what they do or say.

Correction: It’s a high-capacity, assault telescoping stock.

Whatever it is, they want it banned. Never mind that no one can even find a bump stock to take a photo of it.
And speaking of bump stocks, how's that FBI investigation into the Las Vegas shooter going? Do we have a motive yet? Any idea how he got that arsenal of weapons up to his hotel room? Anything?
