The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that a Trump-era ban on bump stocks that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire like machine guns is unlawful, according to a report.
The justices, in a 6-3 decision, said that the Trump administration did not follow federal law when the Trump administration banned bump stocks following the massacre at a Las Vegas music festival in 2017 that left more than 60 people dead, the Associated Press reported.
The gunman fired off more than 1,000 rounds in about 11 minutes.
The law was challenged by a Texas gun shop owner who argued the Justice Department was wrong in classifying bump stocks as illegal machine guns.
This is a developing story.
