A violent and deadly weekend across the United States left two people dead and dozens injured after mass shootings in Michigan, Massachusetts, and Texas.

The most shocking was when a gunman opened fire at a community water playground leaving nine people wounded, including two young boys.

Filipino-American Tennessee state representative Justin Jones is frustrated over the lack of what he called common sense gun laws in the country.

"Are we going to be a nation that continues to be on international news because of mass shootings?" he said.

Jones' comments also followed the release of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a federal ban on bump stocks.

“It was so insane to me," he said. was a rule that was put in place by the Trump administration. Now, the Supreme Court is saying that they are more extreme than Trump and his administration."

The Trump administration’s 2018 ban on bump stocks was in response to the mass shooting a year prior at a Las Vegas music festival.

This was the worst mass shooting to date in the U.S., with 60 people dead and hundreds injured. The gunman used bump stocks to fire more than 1,000 shots in just 11 minutes.

Filipino-American Michael Alcazar is a retired New York City police detective. Now a criminal justice professor, he said he is concerned that bump stocks are again legal to own.

But he said Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote the majority opinion, is not wrong.

“Right now the way it's written, it doesn't spell out that the bump stock essentially turns a gun into a machine gun," said Alcazar/. "So he's technically correct. It is the wording in the federal law.”

Thomas has argued that bump stocks do not transform semi-automatic rifles into illegal machine guns, as they do not alter the basic mechanics of firing.

An Oct. 2023 poll by Gallup showed that 56 percent of adults in the U.S. believe gun laws should be stricter.

For Jones, those who disagree with the new Supreme Court decision and want to reform gun laws can do something about it.

"People should channel that frustration, that outrage into action and make sure not to only vote, but to also go to their town hall meetings," he said. "Show up in their offices and let them know that it is unacceptable."

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had announced that he will put to a vote a proposal to ban bump stocks.
