While one justice rejected a request to delay the ban, another was still pending Tuesday, the day it took effect.
By Mark Berman Mark Berman National news reporter Email Bio Follow March 26 at 2:12 PM A last-ditch effort by pro-gun groups to delay the Trump administration’s ban on bump stocks lingered at the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, even as the government said the measure took effect.
Owners of the devices were told they had until Tuesday to destroy them or turn them over to authorities, creating a ticking clock for these legal challenges. Gun rights groups and bump stock owners pledged to fight the move in court, with an attorney saying that the government was “actively attempting to make felons out of people” who had legally acquired and possessed them.In court filings, groups challenging the change, along with their members, have said the bump stock ban “is the very embodiment of a violation of the separation of powers.” They also accused federal officials of overstepping their authority and twisting the facts.
The Firearms Policy Foundation, which was one of the groups filing that stay request to Roberts, said it was “disappointed” by the chief justice’s move but noted they plan to continue fighting the issue in court.
