Trump Is Fine With SCOTUS Legalizing Bump Stocks, Which He'd Helped Ban
HuffPost
When the Supreme Court lifted a bump stock ban Donald Trump himself worked to implement as president, he accepted the ruling with no complaint.
The Supreme Court struck down the nationwide ban on bump stocks on Friday that former President Donald Trump had worked to implement, but his campaign had relatively little to say on the matter.
“The Court has spoken and their decision should be respected,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s campaign press secretary said in a statement.
Leavitt then highlighted the support he won from the National Rifle Association earlier this year.
“President Trump has been and always will be a fierce defender of Americans’ Second Amendment rights and he is proud to be endorsed by the NRA,” Leavitt said Friday.
The Supreme Court decision centered on the power of federal regulatory agencies to ban bump stocks, simple devices that allow semiautomatic rifles to spray bullets much more rapidly. The majority — including three judges that were picked by Trump — concluded that Congress, rather than the agency Trump had directed, would need to take action in order to ban the devices.
