Supreme Court Strikes Down Federal Ban on Bump Stocks

In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned a federal ban on bump stocks, a device that allows semi-automatic rifles to fire at a rapid pace. The court sided with Michael Cargill, owner of Central Texas Gun Works, who filed a lawsuit challenging the ban.

A Brief History of the Ban

The ban on bump stocks was enacted in response to the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, which left numerous people dead and injured. The ban was implemented to restrict the use of bump stocks, which were used in the devastating attack.

The Court's Ruling

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court struck down the ban, effectively making bump stocks legal in the United States. This ruling has sparked controversy, with some arguing that it will lead to an increase in gun violence.

It's worth noting that the legality of bump stocks varies by state. For example, bump stocks are legal in Colorado, but their legality in other states, such as Texas, is still uncertain.
