No one said he was – including President Biden.
You’ve contrived a ridiculous strawman fallacy.
Why do so many leftists believe in the Executive Order?

The ban was enacted pursuant to existing Federal firearm regulations:
‘The final rule clarifies that the definition of “machinegun” in the Gun Control Act (GCA) and National Firearms Act (NFA) includes bump-stock-type devices, i.e., devices that allow a semiautomatic firearm to shoot more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger by harnessing the recoil energy of the semiautomatic firearm to which it is affixed so that the trigger resets and continues firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter.’
Bump Stocks | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
By twice rejecting challenges to the final rule, the Supreme Court held that the ATF has the authority to regulate bump stocks as authorized by Congress when it passed the NFA and GCA.

But it does not do that, that is the point. They made that up so they could ban it. And now they have opened the door for the Dems to follow suit.

Then why did the SCOTUS rule on the Executive Order?
.
Every Executive Order is not the same you nitwit ...
As I mentioned ... There's a big difference in President Washington issuing an Executive Order recognizing Thanksgiving as a Holiday ...
And President Lincoln issuing an Executive Order suspending Habeas Corpus in Maryland.
Stop making excuses for Authoritarian Fascists and their policies.

Nor will he because there’s nothing he can do.
Unlike bump stocks, there’s no existing Federal law that would authorize the ‘banning’ of firearms.
And yes, conservatives continue to lie about Democratic presidents ‘banning’ guns – this thread is yet another example.

The Supreme Court says what the Second Amendment says.

Yeah. It does do that in effect and for all practical purposes. That’s how a bump stock works. If you don’t know what the heck you’re babbling about, you really should post less.

I believe they declined to rule on the ATF REGULATION by denying cert.

Actually, the discussion is about another lie from the right that President Biden is going to ‘ban’ guns – in this case the lie that the ‘ban’ will be via EO.

Only to someone who has never actually fired a fully automatic weapon.
Executive orders have become essential today. Even when one party controls government, actions of congress can be very slow and if the president's party does not control congress, practically anything proposed action by the president will be opposed in congress and can take weeks to never to get approval.
An executive order directs a federal official or administrative agency to engage in a course of action or refrain from a course of action. Legally that action can not violate federal law or the constitution. The Supreme Court can override an executive order based of violation of the constitution, federal law, or presidential overreach. Congress also has the authority to stop an executive order.

Wrong.
“Trump signed a memorandum instructing the attorney general to regulate the use of bump stocks, effectively banning the use of the devices that can allow rifles to mimic automatic weapons.”

Wrong. The point is essentially the same. You are simply denying reality. The bump stock basically allows the shooter to pull the trigger once. The action of the recoil allows the gun itself to repeatedly then push the trigger finger back again and again.
To interpret that automatic action as effectively making the semi auto a full auto is bviously a reasonable interpretation. One doesn’t have to agree with it to recognize that much.

Directing a subordinate departments to make a rule or regulation is not the same as pretending to make a law via an executive order. Presidents already have the authority to tell subordinates what to do.
Both executive orders and proclamations have the force of law, much like regulations issued by federal agencies. However, in court, the government would have show the legal basis for the executive order or regulation. If the federal government can not show the order or regulation is covered by law or the constitution, the court will strike it down.
These people have nothing but a long list of bullshit lies that only the most stupid among us would believe. They are like a cancer on this great country , they are all pond scum with no values or patriotism , they are the enemy and have to be disposed of.
