Q: The executive director of the National Rifle Association (NRA) said on Sunday that the organization is open to "regulating differently" bump stocks on guns but not necessarily to banning the devices. 
  
 His comment follows President Trump on Thursday saying he is open to considering legislation that would ban bump stocks, which were implicated in the mass shooting that happened in Las Vegas last weekend. 
  
 "We don't believe bans ever worked on anything," Chris Cox told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" when asked whether the organization would support a ban on the devices.

 Cox's comments come one week after a shooter opened fire on thousands of people at a country music festival in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and wounding hundreds of others. 
  
 Authorities say the suspect, Stephen Paddock, used bump stocks, which simulate automatic gunfire by harnessing a semi-automatic rifle's recoil to increase its rate of fire. 
  
 Trump said on Thursday the administration was looking into legislation that would ban the devices. 
  
 Nine Republican senators sent a letter to the Trump administration this week, asking for a review of bump stocks. 
  
 The NRA called for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to review the devices in a rare move on Thursday. 
  
 “The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations,” Cox and NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre said in a statement. ||||| Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump is open to considering legislation that would ban "bump stocks" -- a firearm accessory used to more rapidly fire rounds -- but wants to hear more information on the matter before making a final determination. 
  
 Trump told reporters on Thursday he'd be looking into a proposed ban on "bump stocks" in the near future. 
  
 "We'll be looking into that in the next short period of time," Trump said, when asked about the proposed ban ahead of a dinner with military officers at the White House. 
  
 Earlier in the day, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said: "Right now, our focus, as we've said over the last couple of days, is on healing and uniting the country." 
  
 Sanders was speaking a day after Trump visited victims of a mass shooting in Las Vegas killed 58 and injured more than 500. The perpetrator of the massacre used bump stocks to more rapidly fire rounds into a crowd of concert-goers.

 WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association said Sunday it opposes any legislation to ban the use of "bump stocks" on semi-automatic weapons — even as it has said some regulation may be necessary. 
  
 On Sunday morning talk shows, the gun lobbying group said the Trump administration, not Congress, should take action on the devices. Under the Obama administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms permitted the sale of the devices in 2010. 
  
 Bump stocks have taken center stage in the gun control debate after the Las Vegas shooter apparently used them last week to convert semi-automatic rifles into fully automatic weapons mimicking machine guns. 
  
 "It’s illegal to convert a semi-automatic to a fully automatic. The ATF ought to look at this, do its job and draw a bright line," NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre said on Face the Nation. 
  
 Allowing Congress to take action, LaPierre said, risks turning the bill into "some kind of Christmas tree" to advance other gun control measures that could impact both semi-automatic and automatic weapons. "If you fuzz the line, they're all at risk and we're not going to let that happen," he said. 
  
 But Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said Congress needs to close the loophole. She introduced a two-page bill last week that would ban bump stocks, trigger cranks or similar devices within six months, with an exception for government or military use. 
  
 "Regulations aren't going to do it. We need a law," Feinstein told Face the Nation. "It can't be changed by another president. Right now we're seeing one president change actions of a president that came before him, and that would happen in this area. And I hope that Americans will step up and say, 'Enough is enough. Congress, do something.'" 
  
 She said she has 38 cosponsors on such a bill — but all are Democrats. 
  
 House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said last week that bump stocks are "something we need to look into." But conservatives in his conference are already saying they're opposed to legislation. 
  
 Rep. Steve Scalise — himself wounded by gunfire at a June 14 congressional baseball practice — told NBC's Meet the Presshe also opposes any congressional action on "bump stocks." 
  
 “Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi already said she wants it to be a slippery slope,” he said. “She doesn't want to stop at bump stocks. They want to go out and limit the rights of gun owners.” 
  
 The White House hasn't said where it comes down on that issue. "We'll be looking into that over the next short period of time," President Trump said Thursday. 
  
 Trump's statement came as police on Sunday said they found a note in the hotel suite of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock that apparently showed the calculated distance from his window to the shooting victims below — as well as the trajectory of bullets from the height of his 32nd-floor room. 
  
 Members of the SWAT team that stormed Paddock's room noticed the note on a nightstand near his shooting platform, CBS' "60 Minutes" reported Sunday.

A:
Any hopes that the NRA would be supporting legislation banning so-called "bump stocks" following the massacre last week in Las Vegas were likely dashed when representatives from the group told the Sunday political shows that their group is merely open to "regulating differently" the device that allows a semiautomatic rifle to fire at nearly the rate of an automatic, the Hill reports. "We don't believe bans ever worked on anything," NRA Executive Director Chris Cox told Fox News Sunday. The group believes there should be no legislative ban, like the one sponsored by California Senator Dianne Feinstein, but rather a directive from the Trump administration regulating the devices, which were used by Stephen Paddock during his attack in Las Vegas on Oct. 1 that left 58 people dead and around 500 wounded. NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre told Face the Nation that the bump-stock issue is one for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and that any legislation coming from Congress risks becoming a "Christmas tree" to push bans of weapons, the USA Today reports. The NRA's defiance comes as even some Republicans in Congress have called for a ban on bump stocks and Donald Trump has left the door open for a debate on the subject, CNN reports. "We'll be looking into that in the next short period of time," Trump told reporters last Thursday.
