Brian on WNYC, now our monthly call-your-your-your-senator segment.

My questions and yours for Senator Kirsten-Jillibrand.

I'll be asking about the Supreme Court decision, allowing people to use bump stocks to make

their semi-automatic rifles shoot more bullets more quickly, more like automatic weapons.

The Trump administration, you may remember, had tried to ban them after the Las Vegas

concert mass shooting that killed 60 people and wounded more than 400. The New York Times says the

gunman with a bumpstock equipped rifle, actually at 12 of them, fired about 90 shots in 10 seconds,

more than a thousand rounds in all in that attack, much faster than non-bump stock equipped firearms.

Gillibrand has such a bill, and we will ask if she thinks they have the votes on what might be,

you have today. And you know what? Even if you're not a New Yorker, you can ask Senator Gillibrand

a relevant question at 212-433, WNYC, call or text. 212-433-9692. And Senator, as always, for doing this. Welcome back to WNYC.

Thanks, Brian. I'm happy to be on. You heard my description of the context for the bumpstock case.

Want to give us any additional context or corrections and your reaction to the ruling?

Well, you know, this is just another instance of the right-wing Supreme Court and its

extremism. The ban that we had put in place or that the administration had put in place

was a common-scent measure to basically prevent mass shootings so that a buyer of a gun
