The Trump administration is officially banning bump-fire stocks, senior Justice Department officials told CNN Tuesday.
Under a new federal rule, those who possess the devices, commonly known as bump stocks, will get 90 days to turn them in from the date that the final rule is published in the federal register, which is likely Friday, the officials said.
Bump stocks gained national attention last year after a gunman in Las Vegas rigged his weapons with the devices to fire on concertgoers, killing 58 people. President Donald Trump vowed to outlaw the devices soon after the tragedy, and some lawmakers on Capitol Hill urged him to back a permanent legislative fix.
But opposition from lawmakers and the National Rifle Association ultimately made a regulatory change the only realistic path forward to accomplishing the President's goal.

I can fire my gun with out a bump stock, heck I would have more accuracy as well.
But where were you when the government ‘legally’ stole all the private property in this country?
Bingo. Give Bob a cupie doll for the most correct answer.
LOL. You make some very salient points.
Non violent criminals shouldn’t be rotting in jail for marijuana...get with the times, you shouldn’t be in jail for small drug offenses.
They are in some states. In any case, laws which have resulted in the market price of an M16 being $20,000 or more are a practical ban.
Just as when gun grabbers argue that they don’t want to ban ammunition, they just want to tax it at $100 per round.
Confiscation via incrementalism.
The answer is “None as far as I know. So what?”
Oh damnnnnn, that's gonna leave a big purple welt.
Pissed off as hell. You should hear my rant against registering your car.
When you register your car, you give control of it to the government. That’s what registration is - Regis, to the king.
I hate government more than anyone I can think of. It’s likely I hate the government more than the Bundys.
the government has no right to any object in your possession. Period.
a Cupie Doll? A Cupie doll? I don’t play with dolls anymore- (well, ok, not in public anyways)
Doesn't matter what purpose they serve if any. You completely miss the entire point here. What purpose is there for making and selling any kind of firearm if a bow and arrow or a slingshot can be used to kill with instead? Ludicrous you say? I rest my case.
Touche'.
This argument has always been a non sequitur.
Not sure what you are talking about. Violent criminals, including bank robbers and carjackers, will be eligible for early release under the “First Step Act.”
Less than 1% of federal inmates are in for simple possession, and most all of those were actually arrested for trafficking and plea-bargained down to possession. The idea that our prisons are full of non-violent drug offenders is a myth.
Well at least I would certainly hope not. LOL. Cheers.
I am just glad he is finally taking action on the important stuff.

Boat accident? Anyone? Am I too late?
No he isn’t. He did the least violation, it is unenfoceable and made illegal a device that sprays bullets innaccurately. It is a joke the Pres.knows it we know it the president knows we know it and the soccer mom’s are appeased...
He had a bunch of 50 round mags.
