The Supreme Court on Wednesday deliberated on the Trump administration's ban on bump stocks, a response to the infamous 2017 Las Vegas shooting, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The Court, in the case known as Garland v. Cargill, is examining the legality of the ban, which classifies bump stocks as "machine guns."
The Las Vegas tragedy unfolded during the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival, leaving 58 dead and approximately 500 wounded. The gunman had utilized semi-automatic weapons equipped with bump stocks, enabling rapid firing of up to 1,000 rounds in just 11 minutes.
