(WTXL) - Bump fire stocks gained national attention last year after a gunman in Las Vegas rigged his weapons with the devices to fire on concertgoers.
He killed 58 people. Soon after the tragedy, President Trump called on the Justice Department to outlaw the devices, which make it easier to fire rounds from a semi-automatic weapon by harnessing the gun's recoil to "bump" the trigger faster.
Bump stocks are already banned in Florida, but on Tuesday the Trump administration announced the ban of bump stocks nationwide.
It's an order that the president vows to sign into law when it comes to his desk.
For the next 90 days people around the country will have to either destroy or return their bump stocks to the federal government.
Mark Folmar, Gun Owner and Owner of Folmar's, said this upsets people in the gun owning community.
"I think what upsets people on a general rule is that legislators are not making this the law, it hasn't been reviewed, how effective and ineffective will a ban be," said Folmar.
The use of bump stocks became a hot topic after the Las Vegas massacre where the shooter used the device to make his guns fire like an automatic weapon.
"They are something that replicated a full automatic fire, but it doesn't have accuracy. They are a toy for the most part," said Folmar.
For residents in Georgia. You will have two options to get rid of your bump stock:
1. Return it to your nearest alcohol, tobacco, firearm, and explosive federal building
2. Destroy it yourself
Since this is an executive order, a future president could reverse the order. That would allow bump stocks in Georgia again, but not Florida since the state legislator has banned them.
