A top manufacturer of bump stocks has resumed its sale of the gun accessory just one month after the mass shooting in Las Vegas, the deadliest in U.S. history. 

Slide Fire Solutions announced Tuesday in an email promotion that it would resume limited sales of the accessory, according to The Trace. Stephen Paddock, the shooter behind the massacre, equipped his semi-automatic weapons with the devices to mimic the rate of fire of an automatic weapon. His attack on an outdoor country music festival left 58 people dead.

Following the shooting on Oct. 1, the retailer stopped selling the accessories once their stock ran out. While the item is usually widely available and inexpensive, prices skyrocketed as gun owners sought to buy up remaining inventories amid calls by lawmakers for a ban on bump stocks, The Trace reported.

 

A new bipartisan bill introduced Tuesday would seek to limit the sale and use of bump stocks through extensive background checks, registration, and fingerprint scanning locks. However, the bill would not outright ban the accessory. 

The bill, sponsored by Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), Dina Titus (D-Nev.), Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) and Dave Trott (R-Mich.), follows a previous bipartisan proposal in the House and a Democrat-led push in the Senate that have both stalled since the shooting.

Yeah it's funny how when someone kills people with a truck the person driving the truck is at fault. When someone uses a gun it's the guns fault. You don't see truck manufacturers being sued or proposals to ban trucks but when it's guns were talking about its a whole different story.

There are many regulations on vehicles which are for public safety.  Why  should guns be any different?  If bump stocks were banned, I'll bet you wouldn't even miss them.

That’s just it... guns AREN’T any different.  They have many regulations as well.  And just like vehicles, the law abiding owners of each follow the rules.

Just like you, law abiding gun owners will have no problem living without bump stocks.

Never said they would.  Just pointing out the fallacy of your comment.
