A bump fire stock, also known as a bump stock, is a device that effectively turns a semiautomatic weapon into an automatic weapon, also known as a machine gun. Automatic weapons are banned in the United States (at least new ones), but bump fire stocks are legal because they don't alter the internal functioning of a semiautomatic weapon. This has come into the news lately, because the mass shooting in Las Vegas was done with bump fire stocks, which allowed the shooter to simulate machine gun fire.

My question is, are there any Republicans who oppose banning bump fire stocks? In the days after the shooting, I've seen several Republicans say that they would be willing to at least consider banning bump fire stocks. But are there any Republicans who have publicly stated their opposition to banning bump fire stocks?

EDIT: The NRA just issued a statement calling for "additional regulations" on bump stocks. And White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders just said that President Trump is open to discussing a ban on bump stocks. So that would probably limit the number of Republicans opposing such a ban.
