"Supreme Court Considers Bump Stocks and Machine Guns in Landmark Case"

During a Supreme Court argument, Justice Amy Coney Barrett expressed sympathy for upholding the ban on "bump stocks," devices that convert semiautomatic weapons into fully automatic ones. The case, known as Garland v. Cargill, revolves around the interpretation of federal law banning "machineguns" and whether it encompasses bump stocks. The oral argument suggests that the ban on bump stocks will likely be upheld, with Barrett and Chief Justice John Roberts showing potential support for the government's position.
