and cyril ramaphosa is re—elected president of south africa after his party strikes an unprecedented coalition deal with the opposition. hello, i'm carl nasman. the us supreme court on friday struck down a federal ban on bump stocks, the latest move in america's battle over gun control. bump stocks are gun accessories that allow semi—automatic rifles to fire bullets more quickly, similar to a machine gun. in a 6—3 vote, the court's conservative majority ruled that using firearms with the attachment does not meet the definition of a machine gun under federal law. they determined that the trump administration overstepped its power when it issued the ban back in 2018. that ban came after the deadliest mass shooting in modern us history. 60 people were killed in las vegas and hundreds more injured when a gunman used a bump—stock attachment to fire more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition in about 11 minutes. while more than a dozen states and washington dc have already banned them, friday's supreme court ruling sends the decision back to individual states to determine their own regulat
