Utah lawmaker wants to end sales of ‘bump stocks’ like those used by Las Vegas shooter to boost rapid fire

State’s most prominent gun lobbyist cautions against premature action.

Shooting instructor Frankie McRae aims an AR-15 rifle fitted with a "bump stock" at his 37 PSR Gun Club in Bunnlevel, N.C., on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017. The stock uses the recoil of the semiautomatic rifle to let the finger "bump" the trigger, making it different from a fully automatic machine gun, which are illegal for most civilians to own.
