Michigan AG Urges Supreme Court To Uphold Supreme Court Ruling

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has joined a group of 22 other attorneys general urging the Supreme Court to uphold a federal rule banning bump stocks, devices that effectively convert semiautomatic firearms into illegal automatic weapons.

The coalition urges the Supreme Court to overturn an appellate court’s decision striking down a 2018 regulation that clarified that the federal law banning machine guns also bans bump stock-type devices.

The attorneys general argue that overturning it would pose a threat to public safety and the safety of law enforcement officers.
