Out of his arsenal only one gun had the bump stock (based on photos) and no confirmation if it was used yet bump stocks are now the boogeyman.
Reports were saying it looked like he used modified weapons meaning he modded the lower receiver somehow to simulate a fully auto weapon.
It's just amazing how quickly everyone has jumped on the bump stock bandwagon when we really have no clue as of now what was used.

Nothing has been confirmed nor denied.
There is a leak in the spout however.

Because bump stocks are unknown by most of the population so the media can spin away. Also banning them makes it look like politicians care and "did something" when in reality it has zero impact. But again, the public at large don't know this.

I thought 1 of the weapons in the photos had one

I would never own a bump stock. Hand held automatic fire is inaccurate, and a bump stock makes them more inaccurate.
Case study: Falklands War. British and Argentinians armed with same rifle. British version is semi only. Argentina actually an assault rifle with automatic capabilities. Argentinians pray and spray. British aim and win.
But, I wish I would've bought a dozen last week. Could have doubled my money today, legally!

The sheriff confirmed on a Tuesday night that 12 rifles had bump stocks.
And said that Paddock fired 12 volleys on Tuesday morning.
I don't think that is a coincidence.

Another Obama Administration policy to defeat and chalk up as wiping that clown out of any doubt as the absolute worst president ever.
Great campaign tool to talk numbers of Obama rollbacks exceeding Walmart rollbacks.

A belt Loop would have served him just as well!

One guest on Fox said that he had bump stocks on several weapons and that these weapons ended up jamming, which he said is one of the problems with using a bump stock. First time I'd heard that was this morning.
The guy who said this is one of the veterans that serves in Congress right now. He was talking about his shooting experience in the military and mentioned he'd shot with a bump stock but didn't like it because it reduces your accuracy.

He definitely used a bump stock during some of the shooting. You can clearly hear the variable rate of fire in many of the videos.

There is a video on youtube that you can watch that measures the duration of the automatic gunfire, (I linked it in another thread) it lasts around 11-12 seconds. The weapons visible in the hotel room pictures shows one that appears to be a bump stock equipped AR-15 type rifle. That weapon has a long stick magazine, not sure the capacity but it would have to be at least 100 rounds to shoot for over 8 seconds. The gun dude that put the video up says it would have to be a belt feed or maybe a large drum type magazine to shoot for 10 or more seconds.

This bump stock thing is complete insanity. Banning bump stocks will change absolutely nothing. It makes morons feel all warm and fuzzy inside thinking they actually accomplished something. People kill people they always have and always will. And there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.
