Cargill didn't directly involve #2ndAmendment, but was a test of the reach of a #FederalAgency to interpret #regulations — a major crusade w/the current #SupremeCourt.

#GarlandVCargill turned on whether #BumpStocks meet the definition of a #MachineGun under a 1986 #law. Fed appeals courts were divided in 5 earlier decisions, before #SCOTUS.

Cargill’s case did not directly involve the #2ndAmendment, but was a test of the reach of a #FederalAgency to enact & interpret #regulations — a major crusade w/the current #SupremeCourt.

#Legal precedent says courts should DEFER to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes if reasonable.
