Supreme Court Strikes Down Bump Stock Ban
What You Need to Know
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the federal ban on bump stocks is unconstitutional, overturning a ban approved by former President Donald Trump.
Bump stocks are gun stocks that can be used to assist in bump firing, the act of using the recoil of a semi-automatic firearm to fire rapidly. The Court ruled that the ban violated the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
The Impact of the Ruling
The ruling is a major victory for gun rights advocates, who have argued that bump stocks are legal devices that do not convert semi-automatic firearms into machine guns.
The ruling could also have implications for other gun control measures. The Court's decision suggests that it is skeptical of gun control laws that are based on the "dangerous and unusual weapons" provision of the Second Amendment.
What's Next
The ruling is likely to lead to a surge in the sale of bump stocks. Gun control advocates are calling on Congress to pass new legislation to ban bump stocks.
The debate over bump stocks is likely to continue for years to come.
