BREAKING: N.R.A. Supports Regulations On ‘Bump-Stocks’
Join us and tell your reps how you feel!
The National Rifle Association announced on Thursday that it’s endorsing tougher restrictions on "bump stocks"— mechanisms that allows semi-automatic weapons to mimic the firing speed of automatic weapons.
Twelve of the rifles the Las Vegas mass shooter had in his hotel room were modified with a "bump stock."
As The New York Times reported, it’s "a rare, if small, step for a group that for years has vehemently opposed any new gun controls."
