The Supreme Court says it won't take up two cases that involved challenges to a ban enacted during the Trump administration on bump stocks.

. The gunman, a 64-year-old retired postal service worker and high stakes gambler, used assault-style rifles to fire more than 1,000 rounds in 11 minutes into the crowd of 22,000 music fans. Most of the rifles were fitted with bump stock devices and high-capacity magazines. A total of 58 people were killed in the shooting and two died later. More than 850 people were injured.

The Trump administration's move was an about-face for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. In 2010, under the Obama administration, the agency found that bump stocks should not be classified as a"machinegun" and therefore should not be banned under federal law. Under the Trump administration, officials revisited that determination and found it incorrect.The cases the court rejected Monday are W. Clark Aposhian v. Merrick B.
