Bump stocks are still illegal in Minnesota and a state law passed this year banning binary triggers will go into effect Jan. 1, even after a U.S. Supreme Court decision undid a 2018 federal rule that effectively banned bump stocks.

That's because the decision focused on how the rule was made, and does not answer the question of whether bump stocks and other devices that help fire more rounds faster are protected by the Second Amendment. Unlike the federal rule, enacted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Minnesota's laws were passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor.

"I feel confident our laws will stand up," Gov. Tim Walz said Mond....

...."Friday's decision was not a Second Amendment case," said Sen. Heather Gustafson, DFL-Vadnais Heights, who carried the bill banning binary triggers that passed earlier this year along with provisions to add penalties for straw gun purchasers. "Thankfully here in Minnesota, it doesn't affect our law," she said, "because ours was not based on a definition of machine gun."

While the court's decision does not change Minnesota law, Doar said it could make it easier to challenge other firearms policies set by executive-branch agencies like the ATF.
