      The Supreme Court has ruled that executive agencies cannot unilaterally ban items that Congress has not, using the example of bump stocks. This decision emphasizes the importance of adhering to the constitutional separation of powers. Meanwhile, Pope Francis attended the G7 summit, advocating for ethical AI use, while President Biden decided against pardoning his son for a felony gun conviction. Elsewhere, a rally was held for the late Johnny Whacker, demanding justice for his shooting death and criticizing soft-on-crime policies. Michael Kargill, a gun shop owner, successfully challenged the ban on bump stocks, arguing that only Congress has the authority to classify and ban such items. The Pope's attendance at the G7 marked the first time a pontiff addressed the meeting, and he emphasized the need for ethical AI use. President Biden, in response to a question about pardoning his son, stated that he would not interfere with the judicial process. In Los Angeles, friends and family of Johnny Whacker rallied for justice following his shooting death, urging officials to address the city's crime issues.
