Gun advocates request emergency stay from Supreme Court as bump stock ban looms.
The ban, set to take effect at midnight, makes possession of a bump stock a felony, subject to up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.from Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation and the Virginia Citizens Defense League, all gun advocates, to stay the ban on bump stocks while cases challenging the ban are on appeal.
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 say. The 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.
