Now, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is asking for the public to weigh in on a proposed rule clarifying federal law and regulating bump stocks — a rule that would make clear that these devices are illegal.

THE COMMENTS PAGE CLOSES AFTER 11:59PM ET ON WEDNESDAY
