"Supreme Court's Decision on Bump Stock Ban: What's at Stake for American Weapons?"

TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court appeared divided over the federal ban on bump stocks, devices that modify semiautomatic guns to fire rapidly. The government argues that the ban falls within its authority to regulate machine guns, while challengers claim only Congress can enact such a ban. Justices expressed skepticism about the ATF's authority to reinterpret the law and debated the distinction between machine guns and modified semiautomatic weapons. A decision is expected by summer.
