Hi–

It's been one year since the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals—the gun
lobby's favorite federal appeals court—struck down a life-saving rule on
bump stocks, effectively legalizing them in Texas, Louisiana, and
Mississippi.

Bump stocks are devices that allow shooters to fire up to 800 rounds per
minute, effectively turning assault weapons into machine guns.

We're anticipating a decision from the Supreme Court in Garland v. Cargill
to determine if bump stocks can be manufactured, sold, and purchased in
most states.

other critical legal decisions that impact gun safety.

In 2017, a gunman in Las Vegas wielded 14 rifles equipped with bump stocks
to kill 60 people and wound at least 411 more, making it the deadliest
mass shooting in modern American history.

In the years following that devastating shooting, a federal rule banned
bump stocks and many states enacted their own laws to regulate them—even
some with Republican governors in Massachusetts, Florida, Maryland, and
Vermont.

But if the Supreme Court rules later this year to uphold the Fifth
Circuit's extreme decision, these laws will be struck down and bump stocks
will automatically be legalized in 32 states. Once again, people would be
able to easily turn their semi-automatic weapons into machine guns.

We can't afford to let the gun industry undo the progress we've made.
