Today's Supreme Court decision on bump stocks is a sad day for the families who have lost loved ones in mass shootings and for people across America. In New York, we're doing everything we can to end the scourge of gun violence.
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas wrote, asserting that a semiautomatic rifle with a bump stock is not an illegal machine gun because it doesn't make the weapon fire more than one shot with one pull of the trigger.
Associate Justice Alito wrote for the majority that Congress has the power to legislate a redefinition of bump stops to equate them with machine guns.
