Supreme Court to Decide Legality of Gun 'Bump Stocks' Ban

The Supreme Court has agreed to review the legality of the Trump-era ban on bump stocks, accessories that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more quickly. The case involves a Texas gun owner who argues that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lacked the authority to implement the ban. The ban was imposed after the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, where the shooter used bump stocks. Lower courts have reached differing conclusions on the ban's legality. This marks another gun rights battle for the Supreme Court, which recently expanded gun rights in a separate case. The court will also hear a case on whether people accused of domestic violence have a right to own firearms.
