The Trump administration finally moved Tuesday to officially ban bump stocks — an attachment for semi-automatic weapons that helped to fuel the horrific carnage in the Las Vegas mass shooting last year.
The deadly devices would be banned under existing federal law that heavily restricts ownership of fully automatic weapons, arguing they effectively turn semi-automatic weapons into their even-quicker-firing brethren.
“With limited exceptions, the Gun Control Act… makes it unlawful for any person to transfer or possess a machine-gun unless it was lawfully possessed prior to the effective date of the statute,” according to the new rule announced by the White House.
