There are a lot of photos of Paddock's hotel room in Vegas. I don't subscribe to the use of a weapon in a crime equals it should be banned, but from all the evidence we've seen, there were several of the devices at Paddock's room. I'm suspicious of what was actually going on there with the amount of weapons he had, but have not heard that he didn't have bump stocks. Some people initially reported that the report they heard sounded like full auto, but I could clearly hear the telltale sounds of the initial stutter typical with bumpstocks, followed by settling into a cyclic rate with them.
I have heard a lot of full auto fire within urban environments in many different instances, to include where it resonates off of other structures and sounds very deceptive as to the location of the shooter.
If the premise is that Paddock didn't have bumpstocks, it at least doesn't seem consistent with the evidence we've been presented or the multitude of cellphone video footage and audio I've listened to.

The bumpstock ban is more of a distraction from the real problem with what happened in Vegas, which was a breakdown of the 2 separate EMS systems:
* One for VIPs built and maintained by the Mob and their Vegas Metro PD
* The normal 911 EMS
If it ever gets out that the reason LE was not able to hone in on where the shooter was because of the backdoor 911 Paddock exploited (Jesus Campos and other security notifying on the back-door system), then you're looking at major investigations and class-action lawsuits the casinos would love to avoid.
It only makes sense that your bumptsocks be confiscated or banned because of this mess...if you don't stop and think about it.
