A central Illinois gun-rights group said it's open to banning bump stocks -- if Congress gives gun owners other concessions.
Bump stocks can cause a semi-automatic weapon to simulate a fully automatic weapon. Las Vegas gunman Stephen Craig Paddock used a bump stock during last week’s mass murder.
Some lawmakers are calling for a ban on bump stocks. John Boch, with the group GunsSaveLife.com, said the devices are a novelty and not widely used.
He said he would agree to a bump stock ban if Congress would allow greater concealed-carry reciprocity and legalize sound suppressors, more commonly known as "silencers."
Concealed-carry reciprocity would recognize concealed-carry permits across state lines, similar to how driver licenses are accepted.
"That is something I would certainly be supportive of, depending on the details," Boch said.
Bock added that the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) should review bump stocks for possible regulation first -- the same position taken by the National Rifle Association.
