    The president is making the announcement to curb the use of the rapid-fire devices during a ceremony recognizing bravery by the nation’s public safety officers.

    Trump is responding days after the shooting deaths of 17 people at a Florida high school. He’s pointing to the need to propose regulations to ban the device that was used in the October shooting deaths of 58 people in Las Vegas.

    White House officials say the president will be meeting with students, teachers and state and local officials to discuss ways of providing more school safety and address gun violence. Past efforts to address gun violence in Congress have failed.

    Trump told a ceremony at the White House for first responders that he expected the new regulations would be finalized “very soon.”

    Bump Stocks are just a fun add-on to shooting. They actually detract from the accuracy of the rifle. If we have to give up Bump Stocks on the alter of pleasing the left, its a small price to pay to shut them up. The shame is all the people who will be out of work as a result. (By the way, you can imitate what a Bump Stock does by holding your rifle at your waist and hooking your finger through a belt loop. Has the same effect.)

    This is certainly the least he could do.
