The resolution condemns the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in *Garland v. Cargill*, which ruled that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) exceeded its authority in banning bump stocks, a firearm component that significantly increases the rate of fire. The resolution highlights the dangers of bump stocks, particularly in light of the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting, where the shooter used these devices to kill 60 people and injure over 500. It argues that bump stocks effectively turn semi-automatic firearms into weapons that can fire at rates comparable to machine guns, thus posing a serious threat to public safety.

Furthermore, the resolution reaffirms New Jersey's commitment to protecting its citizens by enacting legislation that prohibits the sale and possession of bump stocks. It emphasizes that the Supreme Court's decision undermines federal gun control laws and places machine guns in the hands of the public, contrary to the intent of the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968. The resolution calls for copies to be sent to each member of Congress from New Jersey, reinforcing the state's stance on this critical issue.
