Supreme Court Decision on Bump Stocks Fuels New Gun Control Debate

Ruling overturns Trump-era ban, raising concerns about rapid-fire weapon modifications and legislative challenges.

Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling struck down the ban on bump stocks, previously enacted by the Trump administration.
Gun rights advocates argue the decision strengthens their position against restrictions on other rapid-fire accessories.
Senate Democrats' attempt to reinstate the ban was blocked by Republicans citing concerns over vague language and overreach.
The ruling has implications for President Biden's efforts to regulate other gun modifications like forced-reset triggers.
The debate highlights ongoing challenges in passing comprehensive gun control legislation through a divided Congress.
