See Where YOUR Congressman Stands On Proposed Bump Stock Ban

As Democrats renew calls for their GOP colleagues to consider bills banning bump stocks, 11 Republicans have explicitly come out in opposition to any form of regulation on the devices.

Nearly half of all lawmakers — 258 members from both sides of the aisle — have said they support some form of regulation.
