In a 6-3 ruling, the court found that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had overstepped its authority by classifying bump stocks as illegal machine guns.

“We conclude that semiautomatic rifle equipped with a bump stock is not a ‘machinegun’ [sic],” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote for the majority, “because it does not fire more than one shot ‘by a single function of the trigger.'”

“Even if a semiautomatic rifle with a bump stock could fire more than one shot ‘by a single function of the trigger,'” Thomas went on, “it would not do so ‘automatically.'”
