Supreme Court agrees to rule on whether AFT can ban rapid-fire 'bump stocks'

The Supreme Court agreed Friday to rule on whether the government may ban the sale or use of 'bump stocks' that can transform a semiautomatic rifle into one that shoots hundreds of bullets per minute with a single pull of the trigger. Since 1934, federal law has banned machines guns, but there has been dispute over whether a bump stock can be outlawed as a type of machine gun.

Several judges said bump stocks do not work just with a single pull of trigger, and others said it was not clear whether they could be described as machine guns. Solicitor Gen. Elizabeth Prelogar appealed the decision from the 5th Circuit and urged the justices to resolve the dispute as soon as possible.
