The Supreme Court handed gun rights groups a victory today by striking a federal ban on bump stocks.
A rapid fire gun accessory under the federal rules.
Anyone in possession of a bump stock could face up to 10 years in prison.
Former President Donald Trump pushed for the ban after 58 people were killed in an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas in 2017 by a shooter who used a bump stock to convert a semiautomatic rifle.
It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history in a 6 to 3 ruling, the high court sided with a Texas gun shop owner who challenge the ban arguing the Justice Department wrongfully classified bump stocks as illegal machine guns.
Gun rights advocates in Kentucky are applauding the decision.
