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

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.

"Supreme Court Reviews Trump-Era Bump Stock Ban"

The Supreme Court is set to hear a challenge to a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, a gun accessory used in the 2017 Las Vegas massacre. The case involves a Texas gun shop owner arguing that the ban was not in line with federal law, while the Biden administration defends the ban. The ban was a reversal by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives following the Las Vegas shooting. The case is not directly about Second Amendment gun rights, but rather about the ATF's authority in imposing the ban. The Supreme Court's decision is expected by early summer and comes at a time when the conservative majority has been increasingly skeptical of federal agency powers.
