JUST IN: Chief Justice John Roberts denies request to temporarily stay the Trump administration's ban on bump stocks.
The ban means more than 500,000 Americans who previously purchased a bump stock are required to turn it in or destroy it, the groups said.
The gun-advocacy groups allege that the Trump Justice Department has "created a new crime ... out of whole cloth," violating the separation of powers. They also indicate that an 85-year-old ban on machine guns is unambiguous and that the law does not apply to the bump stock devices. Debris is strewn through the scene of a mass shooting at a music festival near the Mandalay Bay resort and casino on the Las Vegas Strip, Oct. 2, 2017, in Las Vegas.U.S.
