"Supreme Court's Amy Coney Barrett to Rule on Bump Stock Ban"

The Supreme Court is considering the legality of bump stocks, which were used in the deadly Las Vegas music festival shooting, effectively turning rifles into machine guns. The ban on bump stocks, enacted by the Trump administration, is now being challenged, with the conservative-leaning Supreme Court showing a potential inclination to invalidate it. Justice Amy Coney Barrett's swing vote may decide the outcome, as she expressed skepticism about whether bump stocks meet the federal definition of a "machinegun." The case has sparked a debate over the interpretation of federal law and the role of the administrative state, with implications for gun safety legislation and potential future mass shootings.
