The US Supreme Court's conservative majority recently overturned a ban on bump stocks, a gun accessory used in the Las Vegas massacre, ruling that it was not in line with federal law. This decision is viewed as a setback to gun violence prevention efforts amid congressional inaction.

President Joe Biden criticized the move, which allows semi-automatic firearms to mimic automatic weapons. The ruling has sparked debates on gun safety in the US, as a Texan gun dealer's challenge led to this polarizing outcome.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor strongly dissented, highlighting the divided nature of the 6-3 decision.
