The Supreme Court on Friday struck down a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, a gun accessory that allows semi-automatic weapons to fire rapidly like machine guns and was used in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Justices from the court's liberal wing suggested it was 'common sense' that anything capable of unleashing a 'torrent of bullets' was a machine gun under federal law.
Conservative justices raised questions about why Congress had not acted to ban bump stocks, as well as the effects of the ATF changing its mind a decade after declaring the accessories legal.
