WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said his administration was just a few weeks away from finalizing a regulation that would ban bump stocks, devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire like a machine gun.

“We’re knocking out bump stocks,” he said at a White House news conference. “We’re in the final two or three weeks, and I’ll be able to write out bump stocks.”
