FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2017 file photo, a little-known device called a &quot;bump stock&quot; is attached to a semi-automatic rifle at the Gun Vault store and shooting range in South Jordan, Utah.

It remains unclear, however, what if any action the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will take on so-called bump stocks. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer)

** FILE ** Part of a cache of seized weapons is displayed Jan. 25, 2011, at a news conference in Phoenix. The ATF received fire over a Phoenix-based gun-trafficking investigation called "Fast and Furious," in which agents allowed hundreds of guns into the hands of straw purchasers in hopes of making a bigger case.
