Yeah, I know how these gun control debates go around and around, but that's this week's topic.

Purely FYI, a video posted before Las Vegas:

Any quibbling about technicalities aside, the device basically creates a "civilian machine gun".
This one shows how inaccurate bump stocks are. The shooter had to get 15 yards away for any kind of accuracy with an AR-15.
Perceived threat of confiscation by gun owners, who tend to be on the conservative/right, about far left-leaning liberals taking their guns could add to the split inside the country.

Afa accuracy, it's kind of dishonest to demonstrate shooting from a standing position when, according to reports, Paddock used a stand or object to stabilize himself. Plus, Paddock wasn't shooting at "a" target; he was shooting at a crowd. Turning the lights out would have helped, in hindsight; but, shooting from an elevated position into 20,000 people is not like shooting at a target.

Auto function in most cases is not meant for sustained fire.

Any concerns about unintended consequences, such as a constitutional convention leading to other changes totally unrelated to gun control and gun safety?
