The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, June 14 struck down a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, the rapid-fire gun accessories used in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, in a ruling that threw firearms back into the nation’s political spotlight.

The decision came after a gunman in Las Vegas attacked a country music festival with semi-automatic rifles equipped with the accessories.
