- The Supreme Court has granted agreement to consider whether a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, the firearm attachments that enable semi-automatic weapons to fire rapidly, akin to machine guns, is in violation of federal law.
- Scheduled for early next year, the justices will engage in arguments regarding a regulation that was implemented by the Justice Department following a mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017.
- Federal appeals courts have issued conflicting decisions concerning whether the regulation, which defines a bump stock as a machine gun, aligns with federal law.
