The shooter used a bump stock.  <\/p>\n<p>The nation\u2019s highest court stated that bump stocks do not transform a firearm into an automatic weapon.\u00a0The justices ruled that the ATF exceeded its authority when it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-asks-scotus-to-restore-bump-stock-ban\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Asks SCOTUS to Restore Bump Stock Ban\">classified bump stocks<\/a> as machine guns.<\/p>\n<p>The Gun Violence Prevention PAC Illinois released the following statement from President and CEO Kathleen Sances in response to the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the ban on dangerous bump stocks is a step in the wrong direction in our mission to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-pushes-back-against-democrat-led-gun-control-efforts\/\" title=\"GOP pushes back against Democrat-led gun control efforts\">end gun violence<\/a> and protect Americans from more mass shooting tragedies.
