Former President Donald Trump’s campaign supported the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Trump administration ban on “bump stocks,” which enable users to fire semiautomatic weapons faster.

“The Court has spoken and their decision should be respected,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told the Washington Examiner.

“President Trump has been and always will be a fierce defender of Americans’ Second Amendment rights and he is proud to be endorsed by the NRA,” Leavitt added. “During a time when our border is open to terrorists and criminals, and migrant crime is on the rise, the right to keep and bear arms has never been more critical, and Joe Biden wants to take that right away from law-abiding Americans. President Trump won’t let that happen.”

Trump told the ATF in 2018 “to dedicate all available resources to … propose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns,” which the agency responded to by issuing language that includes “all bump-stock-type devices” under the definition of machine guns.

Trump ordered the change due to the 2017 Las Vegas music festival shooting which killed over 60 people and injured hundreds. Now, his campaign is agreeing with a Supreme Court decision striking down his own rule.

Justice Clarence Thomas delivered the opinion of the court in the 6-3 decision, joined by Justices John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch. Justice Sonia Sotomayor filed the dissenting opinion which Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined.

The court argued whether bump stocks turn semiautomatic weapons into machine guns, with Thomas saying they don’t and Sotomayor musing, “When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck,” in her disagreement.
