US Justice Department to ban rapid-fire ‘bump stocks’ used by Las Vegas shooter

The Justice Department announced it would move to prohibit a device, used in America’s worst mass shooting, that enables guns to fire more rapidly. “After the senseless attack in Las Vegas, this proposed rule is a critical step in our effort to reduce the threat of gun violence”, Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Bump fire stocks, also known as bump stocks, have come under intense scrutiny after authorities revealed that Stephen Paddock was equipped with a dozen of devices when he opened fire on a concert in Las Vegas, killing 59 people and injuring hundreds.
