Maybe legislators should revisit the legality of the bump stock.

Per what I've read on Twitter, if a bill was written today to just ban bump stocks, it would pass. With a lot of GOP support. TX Rep Bill Flores-R is the one who I believe is drafting a bill to do just that.

Since that was the primary cause for the high number of casualties, and since fully automatic assault weapons are already banned, it would make sense to ban bump stocks that essentially modify a weapon to fire much like a fully automatic assault weapon. But of course, many are going to try to advance a more expansive gun control measure that will get shot down.

This world has gone insane.
