Justice Department moves to ban 'bump stocks'
by Melissa Quinn | Mar 10, 2018, 11:54 AM

The Justice Department announced Saturday it has put forth a new regulation to ban "bump stocks," taking the initial step in the regulatory review process to do so.

Under the proposed regulation, which requires approval from the Office of Management and Budget, a bump stock would be included in the definition of machine gun under the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act and prohibited under federal law.

“President Trump is absolutely committed to ensuring the safety and security of every American and he has directed us to propose a regulation addressing bump stocks,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.

The president asked the Justice Department in February to ban the devices, which are used to speed up the rate of fire of semi-automatic firearms to resemble that of an automatic weapon.
