The Supreme Court struck down the federal bump stock ban on June 14, 2024, ruling that the devices do not fit the statutory definition of machine guns. AP, Fox News, and SCOTUSblog all reported the same core outcome.

Across those sources, there was agreement that the ruling was based on statutory interpretation rather than a broad constitutional holding. The decision reversed a rule adopted after the 2017 Las Vegas massacre and sent the policy question back to Congress.

Fox News highlighted the opinion as a limit on agency overreach, while AP and SCOTUSblog emphasized the gap it left in federal gun regulation.
