Facing public wrath after the deadly school massacre in Florida, President Donald Trump has decided to consider banning bump stocks, a controversial device that turns semi-automatic rifles into machine guns that can fire hundreds of rounds a minute.
Trump on Tuesday said he signed a memorandum directing the Attorney General Jeff Sessions to propose regulations to ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns. "We can do more to protect our children," Trump said at a White House event, insisting school safety is now a top priority for his administration. "I expect that these critical regulations will be finalised, very soon," he said.
The move comes in the wake of the deadly shooting at a Florida school last week that killed 14 students and three teachers.
