Abstract

The article reports on the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court lifting a ban on bump stocks that enable semiautomatic rifles to fire at machine gun speeds. In the decision, the court claimed that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives exceeded its authority when it ordered the ban. Also cited are the federal government's efforts to address gun violence and mass shootings, and the dissenting judges like Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
