Former President Donald Trump's campaign supported the Supreme Court's decision to strike down a Trump administration ban on 'bump stocks,' which enable semiautomatic weapons to fire rounds faster.
“The Court has spoken and their decision should be respected,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told the“President Trump has been and always will be a fierce defender of Americans’ Second Amendment rights and he is proud to be endorsed by the NRA,” Leavitt added.
Trump ordered the change due to the 2017 Las Vegas music festival shooting which killed over 60 people and injured hundreds. Now, his campaign is agreeing with a Supreme Court decision striking down his own rule.Justice Clarence Thomas delivered the opinion of the court in the 6-3 decision, joined by Justices John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch.
The court argued whether bump stocks turn semiautomatic weapons into machine guns, with Thomas saying they don’t and Sotomayor musing, “When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck,” in her disagreement.
