The US Supreme Court left intact the federal ban on bump stocks, the attachments that can make a semiautomatic rifle fire like a machine gun, turning away arguments from advocates including the National Rifle Association.
The bump-stock rejections end months of behind-the-scenes maneuvering. The justices were originally scheduled to discuss one of the appeals, pressed by Utah gun lobbyist W. Clark Aposhian, at a private conference in December. They rescheduled the case 20 times, and eventually decided to carry it over to the new term.
They also faulted a federal appeals court for invoking “Chevron deference,” a legal doctrine requiring judges in many cases to defer to regulatory agencies on the meaning of ambiguous laws. The opponents said Chevron deference shouldn’t apply to the interpretation of criminal statutes.
