GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

The only thing Vegas politicians and police care about is making it sound like Vegas is safe, SAFE I TELL YOU! Once again BUMPSTOCKS did NOT contribute to a higher death toll here. In fact several of the guns jammed most likely due to using them. I will wait for the apology...probably forever.

I agree that Vegas politicians very much want to position Vegas as a safe place, for all of the obvious reasons (primarily $$$). They actually say it every time they're interviewed and it's clear they're talking to tourists. Personally, I don't necessarily disagree that Vegas is as safe a place as any to see a show. The element of surprise gives mass murder perpetrators an advantage, no matter where the venue.

But, come on Biggie. It's highly likely that the bump stocks enabled Paddock to fire off far more rounds into the massive crowd/target in the given time frame. As you previously stated, EACH bullet had the capacity to do damage. Thus.....the more bullets, the more damage.

Plus......a couple of the rifles were jammed when LE finally breached the room, but Paddock still had lots of unused ammo and several functional rifles available to him -- some with bump stocks, some without bump stocks, some with scopes and some without scopes (according to LE and photos).

So, please give me your very own intelligent and rational explanation (stubbornness + lack of common sense don't count) as to how you KNOW the bump stocks didn't help Paddock inflict maximum damage before he stopped shooting.

P.S. I'm glad you've at least revised your previous contention that the bump stocks could actually have been 'life savers', that was Derp with a capital 'D'.
