In a 6-3 decision, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court ruled that the Justice Department during the Trump administration overstepped its authority when it banned bump stocks, which modify semiautomatic weapons so that they can fire faster.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., tore into Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, on Monday over remarks he made about bump stocks as the Senate grapples with whether to ban them. Vance, who is widely considered a vice presidential contender on the GOP ticket with former President Donald Trump, called efforts by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and other Democrats to ban the devices “a huge distraction.
The 6-3 ruling, however, kept the door open for Congress to pass legislation banning the firearm accessories, and Schumer said Democrats plan to take up a measure as early as Tuesday. The war of words between Rosen and Vance pits two senators against each other over a hot-button issue that has galvanized many voters as mass shootings become commonplace in the U.S.
