MAGA JUSTICES TIGHTEN DEATH GRIP ON AMERICAN POLICY WITH RADICAL GUN RULING

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 14, 2024) – Today, the Supreme Court ruled in Garland v. Cargill that bump stock devices cannot be limited under longstanding U.S. law barring machine guns — furthering the right-wing majority’s ongoing assault on even the narrowest protections against gun violence. In response, Take Back the Court released the following statement on behalf of its president, Sarah Lipton-Lubet:

“Even the Trump administration's bare minimum gun regulations are too much for all six right-wing extremists on his court. Within minutes, the right-wing justices ignored the plain text of one statute in order to deport immigrants without due process — and then went out of their way to rewrite a different statute in order to enable more mass shootings. It really paints a picture of exactly how these MAGA justices want our country to look: less safe, more white, and governed not by laws or rules but by their own radical ideology.”
