Trump moved to ban bump stocks in the wake of the Las Vegas shooting with loud bipartisan support from Congress and anti-gun-violence advocates. The Firearms Policy Coalition sued the Trump administration in December after ATF changed federal rules to ban the devices at Trump’s request. ATF’s bump-stock ban is slated to go into effect March 26. But while support for banning bump stocks is strong on the left, at least some Democrats opposed the ATF rule change. “Support for banning bump stocks is widespread, and it’s encouraging to see the Trump administration take action on gun safety,” she wrote.
