The Supreme Court said it will consider a challenge to a Trump-era regulation that bans bump stocks, which modify semi-automatic rifles to increase their rate of fire.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday said it will consider a challenge to a Trump-era regulation that bans so-called 'bump stocks,' a firearms modification that increases the rate of fire of semi-automatic rifles.In a brief unsigned order, the court agreed to decide the case, known as Garland v. Cargill. There were no noted dissents. The justices also took up a case involving the National Rifle Association, and a third dispute related to arbitration agreements.

After determining that the National Firearms Act is ambiguous in two areas, the 5th Circuit concluded that a non-mechanical bump stock is not a machine gun under the law.The Biden administration asked the Supreme Court to take up the dispute over the bump stock ban in April, arguing that ATF's rule didn't change the scope of the prohibition on machine guns and instead was a means of informing the public of the agency's view that bump stocks are machine guns.
