Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Under federal law, a "machine gun" is described as any weapon with the capacity to fire multiple shots automatically, without manual reloading, through a single trigger function.
47% : Both the Biden administration and advocates of gun rights urged the justices to address the matter after federal appellate courts diverged in their opinions regarding the legality of the ban.
42% : Cargill's argument is that bump stocks do not align with the legal definition of a "machine gun," and, at a minimum, the law allows for varying interpretations.
