Trump prohibits the use of firearms devices..

The United States President, Donald Trump, signed a prohibition on a bump-stock firearm device that turned the capability of a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic rifle.

Speaking at the White House, Trump declared himself to have ordered the Justice Department to file rules that made the purchase and sale of illegal bump stocks.

"We have to do more to protect our children," Trump said, adding that he would discuss school security this week.

Last week, a 19-year-old teenager shot dead 17 people at a high school in Florida.

The incident sparked a rally demanding tightening of the right to carry firearms.

The demonstration participants, consisting of students and their parents, shouted your 'shame' slogan against US President Donald Trump and a number of politicians.

One survivor even described how Trump and a number of politicians received donations from the National Arms Association (NRA) - an organization that encourages armed rights for the people of the United States.

What is a bump-stock?
In essence, bump-stock is a firearm accessory that can improve the ability of semi-automatic rifles.

Instead of pressing the trigger every time you shoot, a semi-automatic rifle user who uses bump-stock on the rifle buttocks only holds the trigger with his finger so the bullet spurts continuously like an automatic rifle.

Bump-stock prices range from US $ 100 or Rp1, 3 million and can be purchased without going through background checks.

This accessory was used by the shooting men in Las Vegas, in October last year, which killed 58 people and injured more than 500 people.

Audio analysis results show that the perpetrator, Stephen Paddock, was able to spew up 90 bullets in 10 seconds from his room at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

Some experts judge Paddock, who committed suicide after the attack, would not be able to inflict so many casualties without the use of bump-stock.

Did not the US Congress ever want to ban it?
A number of MPs, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, said they had never heard of such weapon accessories until the shooting incident in Las Vegas.

Shortly after the incident, both Democrats and Republicans agreed that bump-stock sales should be banned.

Last November, Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein took the initiative to pass a bump-stock ban and other devices that increase the ability of semi-automatic rifles.

However, the move was deadlocked.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) and some Republican lawmakers argue that such a rule should be drafted by the Agency for Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

At the state level, bump-stock bribes are subject to varying results, such as in South Carolina, Illinois, Washington, and Colorado.

Could Trump consider any other gun control plan?
On Tuesday (20/02), the White House indicated openly the idea of ​​age restrictions for the purchase of AR-15 rifle attack rifles, as used in Florida shootings.

"I think it is definitely an ingredient for us to discuss and we hope to achieve results in the next two weeks," White House spokesman Sarah Sanders said when asked about age limitations.

At the end of last week, Trump declared himself in favor of a bipartisan bill drafted to improve the checks before anyone could afford a gun.

The bill is intended to patch the gap in the FBI criminal background checking system used to process 25 million weapons possession submissions last year.

Various loopholes in the system were revealed after a shooting incident at a church in Texas last year and a Florida shelling last week.

At shooting in Florida, the culprit is suspected of having a background of mental and behavioral disorders.
