Conservative Media Against Banning ‘Bump Stocks’ After Vegas Shooting
Congressional Republicans are considering a rare gun regulation in the wake of the mass shooting in Las Vegas, and conservative media is pushing back.
House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday joined a number of Republicans saying they are open to potentially regulating or banning the “bump stocks” found in the hotel room of the shooter in Las Vegas earlier this week, which left at least 59 dead and about 500 wounded.
Bump stocks are modifications that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire at the higher rates that simulate automatic weapons, which are illegal and far more difficult to obtain.
