Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The Supreme Court already is weighing a challenge to another federal law that seeks to keep guns away from people under domestic violence restraining orders, a case that stems from the landmark decision in 2022 in which the six-justice conservative majority expanded gun rights.
43% : Federal appeals courts have come to different decisions about whether the regulation defining a bump stock as a machine gun comports with federal law.
33% : The new case is not about the Second Amendment right to "keep and bear arms," but rather whether the Trump administration followed federal law in changing the bump stock regulation.
32% : The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to decide whether a Trump era-ban on bump stocks, the gun attachments that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire rapidly like machine guns, violates federal law.
23% : In 2010, under the Obama administration, the agency found that a bump stock should not be classified as a machine gun and therefore should not be banned under federal law.
