Schumer to bring up vote on gun bump stocks ban after Supreme Court decision
Biden urges Congress to ban bump stocks after Supreme Court ruling
02:32
Washington — Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Sunday that he plans to bring up a vote this week on restoring a ban on bump stocks, devices that greatly increase the rate of fire of semi-automatic weapons, after the Supreme Court invalidated a federal rule that outlawed the device days ago.
Caling the Supreme Court a “MAGA court” and saying they have “gone off the edges of the far right yet again,” Schumer said Sunday at a news conference that he plans to bring up a vote on restoring the bump stock ban under unanimous consent, which could be blocked by opposition from just a single lawmaker.
Schumer called the ban “common sense,” saying the Senate can help restore the “public safety rule,” while urging Republicans to join him to “protect the American people.”
