The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against a ban on bump stocks, the accessory used in the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, stating that the Trump administration exceeded its authority with the ban. Bump stocks allow semiautomatic weapons to fire rapidly, and were originally deemed legal by the ATF before a ban was imposed in 2019. The court's conservative majority found that bump stocks do not turn guns into illegal machine guns, and the decision does not address Second Amendment rights. Several states have their own bans on bump stocks, but most remain in effect despite the Supreme Court ruling.
