On Tuesday, the Trump administration banned the high-power gun attachments of the type used in last year’s Las Vegas shooting massacre of 58 people, giving the owners of ‘bump stocks‘ 90 days to turn in or destroy the devices, according to a report by Reuters.
President Donald Trump’s Republican Party typically supports gun ownership, and its members have fiercely fought off perceived threats to the United States Constitution’s Second Amendment guaranteeing Americans the right to bear arms.
His administration has reportedly sidestepped any potential debate in Congress in issuing a final rule on Tuesday that adds bump stocks to a definition of machine guns originally written 80 years ago.
