The National Rifle Association on Thursday backed further regulation of so-called bump stocks, the device that the Las Vegas gunman used to increase his rate of fire. “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 in a statement. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters at the daily briefing that the administration is open to talking about restricting the devices and “would like to see a clear understanding of the facts.”
