Supreme Court Strikes Down Bump Stock Ban
Updated 11:41 am, June 14, 2024
Background:
The Supreme Court on Friday struck down a ban on bump stocks, a gun accessory that had been banned by the Trump administration in 2019. The ruling came in a 6-3 decision, with the court's conservative justices voting to overturn the ban.
Implications:
The Supreme Court's decision means that bump stocks will now be legal to purchase and use in the United States. This could lead to an increase in the number of mass shootings, as bump stocks allow semi-automatic weapons to be fired much more rapidly.
Conclusion:
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn the bump stock ban is a major setback for gun control advocates. The ruling could lead to an increase in the number of mass shootings and make it more difficult to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people.
