"Supreme Court Considers Fate of Bump Stocks in Landmark Gun Case"

TL;DR Summary
The US Supreme Court is considering whether to lift the ban on bump stocks, gun accessories that enable rifles to fire hundreds of bullets per minute. The ban was imposed by the Trump administration after a mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017. Justices are grappling with the technical aspects of the case, including the definition of machine guns and the interpretation of federal statutes. The ruling, expected in June, could potentially invalidate the ban and legalize bump stocks in states without their own restrictions.
