The Supreme Court on June 24 reversed a lower court’s ruling against bump stock purchasers after the justices overturned a federal ban on the devices days before.

The regulation, which came into being during the Trump administration after a gunman used bump stock-equipped rifles in a 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, had reversed years of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) interpretations on the use of “machine guns.”
