And all of a sudden, Democrats are in 100% favor of bump stocks.
WASHINGTON – 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.
Washington state already has bump stock legislation, however. In March, Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law Senate Bill 5992, that made it illegal to possess or sell a device that converts a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic weapon.
The law also set up a buyback program in which the state will pay up to $150 for bump stocks delivered to Washington State Patrol.
