"Now you have [Sen.] NRA issued its first statement on the Las Vegas shooting earlier Thursday backing additional regulations on bump stocks, which allow semi-automatic guns to fire hundreds of rounds per minute. “The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations,” the organization said. However, LaPierre emphasized the organization was not calling for doing away with the devices, telling Fox, "We didn't say ban, we didn't say confiscate."
