"Supreme Court Divided: Amy Coney Barrett's Role in Bump Stock Ban Decision"
TL;DR
The Supreme Court appeared split over the legality of the Trump administration's ban on bump stocks, which enable semiautomatic rifles to fire at speeds rivaling machine guns. The ban was enacted after the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, and the justices seemed divided along ideological lines during the arguments. The case does not revolve around the Second Amendment but rather challenges the power of administrative agencies. A decision is expected by late June.
