Can the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) regulate bump stocks like machine guns, which are illegal and banned under federal law? That's what the Supreme Court is considering after hearing arguments from both sides for more than an hour in Garland v. Cargil. The Trump administration enacted a bump stock ban in 2018. The action was in response to a 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas during a music festival. The gunman used a bump stock with his rifle to kill 58 people and wounded more than 400 others. This was the United States' deadliest mass shooting in history. Shortly after the ban's enactment, Michael Cargill, an owner of two bump stocks, filed suit. After multiple rounds of going through the lower courts, the Supreme Court now has through June 2024 to issue a ruling.
