Melissa Murray和Leah Littman：最高法院以6:3的投票结果推翻了禁止使用枪托的规定，这一决定引发了广泛争议。多数意见认为，根据1934年国家枪械法案和1968年枪支管制法案的文本解读，安装枪托的半自动武器不属于机枪，因此ATF的禁令超出了其法定权力。这一解读被批评为极端的文本主义，忽视了法律的实际目的和潜在的社会后果。法官托马斯在多数意见中使用了大量的技术细节和图表来支持其观点，而法官索托马约尔在异议意见中则强调了枪托的实际功能和国会立法意图，指出该裁决将导致更多枪支暴力事件。法官阿利托的并发表了同意意见，认为只有国会才能修改法律，禁止枪托的使用，但这一观点忽略了当前国会不可能采取行动的现实。 Melissa Murray和Leah Littman：本案的判决结果将导致枪托重新进入市场，增加枪支暴力事件的风险。此外，该裁决可能对其他类似的枪支配件的监管产生影响，甚至可能导致其他被禁止的枪支配件重新进入市场。即使国会修改法律禁止枪托，最高法院也可能以违反第二修正案为由将其推翻。大法官巴雷特在口头辩论中对文本主义持保留态度，但在最终判决中保持沉默，这引发了人们对其司法立场和未来判决的担忧。
