After the nation's deadliest mass shooting, which left 58 dead when a gunman opened fire last month on a country music concert in Las Vegas, Congress, which is controlled by Republicans, backed off legislation from California Sen. Dianne Feinstein to ban the sale of "bump stock" devices that can turn rifles into automatic-style weapons like the shooter used in Nevada.
Republicans said they would prefer an administrative, rather than a legislative, fix for bump stocks, an approach favored by the National Rifle Assn.
Cornyn said Tuesday that he has asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold a hearing on bump stock devices.

Now, how about that universal background check supported by just about everyone but the NRA and the gun lobby (and the politicians they control)? I wish that was also part of the current attempt at bi-partisan gun control legislation.
