GIFFORDS Law Center: SCOTUS Must Uphold Federal Bump Stock Ban
Washington DC —Today, GIFFORDS Law Center, the legal arm of the gun violence prevention group GIFFORDS, called on the Supreme Court to uphold the federal bump stock ban after the Court announced it would hear a case challenging the important rule.
Adam Skaggs, Chief Counsel and Vice President, GIFFORDS Law Center:
“We’ve seen firsthand the horrors bump stocks can inflict at the Route 91 shooting in Las Vegas. Bump stocks convert semiautomatic weapons into illegal fully automatic machine guns. The Supreme Court must uphold the federal ban. The classification of bump stocks as machine guns is simply common sense, and in line with congressional intent to regulate workarounds to the machine gun regulations.”
