Supreme Court strikes down Trump-era ban on rapid-fire rifle bump stocks, reopening political fight

The ruling wasn't directly about the Second Amendment, but nevertheless threw guns back into the center of a political conversation.

As Trump courts gun owners while running to retake the presidency, he has appeared to play down his own administration’s actions on bump stocks, telling NRA members in February that “nothing happened” on guns during his presidency despite “great pressure.” He told the group that if he is elected again, “No one will lay a finger on your firearms.”

The arguments in the bump stock case, though, were more about whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a Justice Department agency, had overstepped its authority, not the Second Amendment covering firearms.
