The Supreme Court on Friday struck down a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, the rapid-fire gun accessories used in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting that wounded more than 400 people and killed 58.
A bump stock is attached to a semi-automatic rifle at The Gun Vault in South Jordan, Utah, Oct. 4, 2017. The U.S. Supreme Court, Friday, June 14, 2024, struck down a ban on the rapid-fire rifle bump stock used by the gunman who rattled off over 1,000 bullets in 11 minutes in Las Vegas in 2017. Alaskans reacted to the ruling Friday, many expressing mixed reactions.
However, many gun owners in Alaska questioned if the ban would have any impact on the gun industry in Alaska, as many stores didn’t carry bump stocks before the ban; it was an accessory many likely purchased online. “We would not allow those at all in any of our classes,” McDaniel said. “It just doesn’t fit the bill at all, as far as learning the proper way and the proper fundamentals of how to manipulate and shoot a firearm with a system like that on it.”
“So even if it’s an impractical item, I still don’t agree with anything that takes more of our rights away from what we can safely buy and safely use as far as in a controlled environment. I don’t think that that should ever be infringed upon,” McDaniel said.
