By a vote of 6-3 , the justices rejected the federal government’s argument that rifles equipped with bump stocks are machine guns.
The bump stock is an attachment that transforms a semiautomatic rifle into a weapon that can discharge at a rate of hundreds of rounds per minute.
Justice Sotomayor warned that the decision “will have deadly consequences”.
Sotomayor says bump-stock rule eviscerates Congress ’s regulation of machine guns.
Thomas says the law is not useless because it draws a line more narrowly than one of its conceivable statutory purposes might suggest.
The dispute is one of two cases involving guns and gun rights before the justices this term.
