The deadly school shooting in Florida has led to more calls for better gun control. President Trump is a strong gun rights supporter, but on Tuesday, he said he would seek a ban on gun accessories such as bump stocks. The devices enable rifles to fire hundreds of rounds a minute. Bump stocks were used in October's mass shooting in Las Vegas.
DONALD TRUMP US PRESIDENT "Just a few moments ago I signed a memorandum directing the Attorney General to proposed legislation that would ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns. I expect that these critical regulations will be finalized -- Jeff -- very soon.
