Denver City Council votes to ban bump stocks
After a vote Monday by city council, Denver is the second city in the U.S. to ban bump stocks, which replace regular rifle stocks to increase the speed that a trigger can be pulled.
The ban affects any devices that increase the rate of fire and trigger activation on a pistol, rifle or shotgun, and passed 11 to 1, according to KDVR. The ban also outlaws magazines that hold more than 15 rounds.
The initiative to ban bump stocks came about after they were used by a shooter in an attack on a Las Vegas country music concert in October that killed more than 50 people.
If caught with one of the banned devices, you face a fine up to $1,000 and up to 180 days in jail.
