There are a lot of people spouting off that the bump stock may have saved lives, made him less accurate and all that kind of horse shit.
HOTD and FUs analysis is correct, none of that matters. Shooting from a high point and just spraying a 20000+ crowd accuracy means hitting the crowd, the individuals are in there, its like stomping an anthill.
Bump stocks were created specifically to get around the proscriptions on automatics and should have been banned. The ATF looked at them for weeks and OK'ed them because they did not meet the definition of "Automatic". That was just a case of bad semantics, the definition of automatic should have been changed to encompass these things, but that was not their charter on this issue.
Ban the damn things, there is no reason at all for civilians to own anything like an auto....Now how to word the law to do that will require a shit ton more debate and the gun grabbers will try and push for the widest possible definition that will no doubt infringe on us legal folks, and the pro gun lobby will want the definition honed to a surgical edge to the point of only banning specific model numbers.....
All that said the guy broke a LOT of laws ass soon as he popped the first round, a few dozen more laws will not matter in the slightest.
The guy killed a LOT of people purely because he was able to pour so much fire on the crowd in the 11 minutes he had period.
