How do y'all square the fact that this ban was originally imposed by Trump?
I mean, he took the typical gun grabber handbook of "ban all the things after tragedies", used it to ban an item that merely assists, not enables, bump firing, and it turned into an ATF dickstomp after all 3 of his appointees said "You are not the law, merely enforcers, keep in your lane".
Not everything is 4d chess, but it's getting pretty close here.
I had a friend who was big into guns and believed Trump was anti-gun because of this ban. I tried to explain that it would get struck down eventually and maybe Trump knew that and it was a move like sacrificing a pawn in order to get bigger things overturned. He couldn't get it.
Your explanation is very plausible.
