minus-square@thallamabond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink40•2 days agoThe history on this is interesting Trump banned bump stocks as a reaction to the Vegas massacre. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-issues-rule-banning-bump-stocks-year/story?id=59884493 Then the supreme court ruled that unconstitutional. https://www.npr.org/2024/06/14/g-s1-2929/supreme-court-bump-stocks Now the trump admin is going to permit more things like the bump stock to be sold legally. Specifically, something that makes a semi automatic gun fire much more rapidly.
