In the wake of the Las Vegas mass shooting, a Florida lawmaker has filed a bill that would ban the sale, possession and use of bump stocks.
Law enforcement authorities said the Las Vegas shooter used bump stocks to modify a semi-automatic weapon by giving them the rapid firing power of an automatic weapon.
Orlando Senator Linda Stewart's measure would also require anyone to surrender the devices that convert semi-automatic guns into fully automatic weapons.
Violators would be guilty of a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.
The National Rifle Association has said it is open to regulation of bump stocks through administrative action, but does not support legislation to ban the devices.
