The Supreme Court has struck down a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, a rapid-fire gun accessory that was used in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The high court Friday found the Trump administration did not follow federal law when it reversed course from previous administrations and banned bump stocks after a gunman in Las Vegas attacked a country music festival with semiautomatic rifles in 2017. A Texas gun shop owner challenged the ban, arguing the Justice Department wrongly classified bump stocks as illegal machine guns. The Biden administration said the department made the right call for gun accessories that can allow a rate of fire similar to an automatic weapon.
