There's no doubt the ATF approved the sale because restricting "bump stocks" (or the other conversion kits) was not taken up by Congress. In any case, it wasn't because anyone at ATF thought it was a good idea. And, as I said, going against "bump stocks" is easy now, especially if they can be blamed on the previous administration.
Discovering Paddock's motive won't help anything. If they find out, they're not going to make laws preventing Paddock from obtaining anything obtainable. It doesn't matter whether he's on meds or off. He wasn't "crazy." I would say that he couldn't get off with an insanity defense, given the amount of preparation and planning required for his act. But, I'm also sure that there's no interest in judging him sane. Freud would understand.
