President Donald Trump on Feb. 20 signed a directive ordering Attorney General Jeff Sessions to craft regulations banning so-called bump stocks, which add a rapid fire function to semi-automatic rifles.

Besides bump stocks, the directive also calls for the ban of other devices that give semi-automatic firearms an automatic function.
