Justice Sotomayor calls out every conservative in gun case dissent
When a gunman opened fire at a country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Oct. 1, 2017, he killed 58 people and injured more than 800 in what was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Twelve of the 23 guns in his arsenal had bump stocks, devices that allow semiautomatic firearms to fire continuously after just one trigger pull. He fired more than 1,100 rounds of ammunition in just 10 minutes—a slaughter so horrific that the Trump administration responded with regulations banning bump stocks.
The six conservative Supreme Court justices who struck down that ban Friday are apparently immune to that horror.
