US Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era ban on bump stocks, gun accessories used in 2017 massacre

The bump stock, which is non-mechanical, can simulate an automatic weapon, firing 400-800 rounds per minute.The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday invalidated a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, ruling the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives wrongly classified firearms equipped with a bump stock as machine guns.

"This case asks whether a bump stock -- an accessory for a semiautomatic rifle that allows the shooter to rapidly reengage the trigger -- converts the rifle into a 'machinegun.' We hold that it does not," Thomas wrote. Sotomayor added, "Today's decision to reject that ordinary understanding will have deadly consequences. The majority's artificially narrow definition hamstrings the Government's efforts to keep machineguns from gunmen like the Las Vegas shooter."
