Las Vegas mass shooting

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Trump administration moved Tuesday to officially ban bump stocks, which allow semi-automatic weapons to fire rapidly like automatic firearms, and has made them illegal to possess beginning in late March.
The devices will be banned under a federal law that prohibits machine guns, according to a senior Justice Department official.
Quote:
The amended regulations reverse a 2010 ATF decision that found bump stocks did not amount to machine guns and could not be regulated unless Congress changed existing firearms law or passed a new one. In the aftermath of the Las Vegas shooting, there was a growing push by some members of Congress to ban bump stocks, but no legislation was passed. At least 10 states have sought their own restrictions on the devices.
Trump lovers can you remind me, who was president in 2010?
Wonder what else Trump is willing to ban?

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.
