Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called for legislation to outlaw bump stocks after the Supreme Court struck down a President Donald Trump-era ban on the gun accessory.

Bump stocks are attached to the butt end of a rifle, causing them to fire again by bumping against the finger on recoil.
“As I warned the Trump administration at the time, the only way to permanently close this loophole is through legislation. Senate Democrats are ready to pass legislation to ban bump stocks but we will need votes from Senate Republicans,” Mr. Schumer said in a statement.
