On December 18, 2018, the Department of Justice amended the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), clarifying that bump stocks fall within the definition of “machinegun” under federal law, as such devices allow a shooter of a semiautomatic firearm to initiate a continuous firing cycle with a single pull of the trigger. <ref>https://www.atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/bump-stocks</ref> The ATF also issued a statement saying: "We are faithfully following President Trump’s leadership by making clear that bump stocks, which turn semiautomatics into machine guns, are illegal, and we will continue to take illegal guns off of our streets." <ref>https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-announces-bump-stock-type-devices-final-rule</ref> In January 2023, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, by a 13-to-3 vote ruled that the classification was illegal and this ruling is currently under review by the United States Supreme Court. <ref>https://www.npr.org/2023/11/03/1210516804/supreme-court-bump-stocks</ref>

On February 28, 2018, Trump met with lawmakers on Wednesday to discuss gun laws and school safety in the aftermath of a February 14 shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead. He appeared to support red flag laws and stated: "I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time. Take the guns first, go through due process second.” <ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376097-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second/</ref>
