It's been 443 days since the Las Vegas mass shooting which killed 58 people and wounded over 450.
The mass shooter used a semi-automatic rifle equipped with a bump stock in order to maximize the number of bullets he could fire into a crowd of outdoor concert-goers before being stopped.

President Trump stated that he would ban bump stocks immediately following the Vegas massacre and has claimed several times since then that it had been done. In reality, the bump stock ban was not done until today. Better (very) late than never.
Anyway, according to the Justice Department, there are tens of thousands of bump stocks in the hands of gun owners. They have 90 days to turn them into the ATF or destroy them.
Gun rights activists have already filed a federal lawsuit challenging the ban and the NRA has unsurprisingly issued a statement expressing its disappointment with the new law.
