Supreme Court to Review Trump-era Gun Rule and Challenge to Bump Stock Ban
TL;DR
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, devices that convert semi-automatic weapons into machine guns. The ban was implemented in 2019 after a mass shooting in Las Vegas, but the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it illegal earlier this year. The Supreme Court's decision to review the ban comes after a path-breaking decision on gun rights and at the urging of both the government and gun rights groups.
