"Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Bump Stocks Ban and Machine Guns"

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the federal ban of bump stocks, with conservative justices expressing concerns about the ban's enforcement and questioning why Congress didn't act on the issue. Liberal justices focused on the potential damage caused by rifles equipped with bump stocks. Justice Elena Kagan emphasized the need for common sense in interpreting laws, while Justice Brett Kavanaugh raised concerns about people being prosecuted without awareness of the ban. The case challenges the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' authority to reclassify bump stocks as "machine guns" under the National Firearms Act.
