A fully automatic weapon shoots about 14 rounds per second. Using a bump stock with a semi automatic AR-15 gave the Las Vegas shooter the ability to fire about 9 shots per second, according to analysis of footage by the New York Times. 9x60= a lot of stupid death. Like I said, spray and pray did not maximize the death toll, could have killed more with the single aimed shots he started with. Edited November 22, 2019 by Yzermandius19 Quote

The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.12 https://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-laws/policy-areas/hardware-ammunition/machine-guns-50-caliber/ It's not a single function of the trigger with a bump stock, it's a multiple functions of the trigger rapidly. Therefore not full auto. Quote
