The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to stop the Trump administration from enforcing its ban on so-called bump stock devices, which allow semiautomatic weapons to fire like machine guns.

Police found at least 23 firearms in the Las Vegas shooter’s hotel room including at least 1 “bump-fire stock” modification.

The Trump administration's move was an about-face for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. In 2010, under the Obama administration, the ATF found that the devices were legal. But under the Trump administration, officials revisited that determination and found it incorrect. The revised regulation, which went into effect Tuesday, requires owners either to destroy their bump stocks or surrender them.

The revised regulation was met with resistance from gun-rights advocates, and several lawsuits were filed to try to stop the ATF from enforcing the ban. But lower courts have so far declined to keep the administration from moving forward with the ban, and the Supreme Court declined to get involved to halt it.Analysis and breaking news from our award-winning journalists in Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

Supreme Court declines to stop Trump administration’s ban on bump stocksThe justices had been asked to delay the ban, which outlaws devices like the ones used in the 2017 Las Vegas massacre. The right to plastic accessories shall not be infringed. Banning bump stocks in no way restricts your right to own murder toys. It says 'right to bear arms' not 'right to bear accessories to arms' Who needs a bump stock when you have a belt loop?

A familiar Supreme Court pattern as justices review extreme partisan gerrymanderingLiberal justices think it is a threat, and conservatives wonder whether courts have a role in policing it. Hmm. the Maryland gerrymander was done by Democrats so that one will be unconstitutional. The North Carolina gerrymander was done by Republicans so that one will be constitutional. They will be allowed eleven of ten districts. I hate this court, truly, truly hate this court. What is 'extreme gerrymandering'? Gerrymandering itself is not democracy
