Supreme Court to Review Gun Bump Stock Ban and NRA's Financial 'Blacklisting'

The Supreme Court has agreed to review a challenge to the federal ban on bump stocks, devices that increase the firing speed of rifles, following a 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas. The Biden administration requested the Court to reverse a lower-court ruling against the ban, arguing that it poses a threat to public safety. Advocates for the ban argue that bump stocks should be classified as machine guns, which have been banned since 1986. Those challenging the ban claim that bump stocks are useful for individuals with limited finger dexterity and highlight that the devices were not classified as machine guns for nearly a decade. The Supreme Court's decision to take up the case comes amidst ongoing debates over gun rights and restrictions.
