WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear two challenges to the federal regulatory ban on bump stocks Monday, leaving in place a prohibition on the devices that were used in the Las Vegas Strip mass shooting.
Although the high court’s decision was “welcome news,” U.S. Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., said it was not the end of legal challenges and a possible future review by the court, which has previously ruled in favor of gun rights.
“Today’s action from the Supreme Court is a temporary victory,” Titus said.
