Bipartisan lawmakers unveil bill to ban gun bump stocks

A bipartisan pair of lawmakers unveiled legislation on Tuesday to ban a device used by the suspected gunman in the Las Vegas massacre to make semi-automatic weapons fire shots more rapidly.

The bill, authored by Reps. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) and Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), would prohibit the manufacture, sale and use of the devices, known as “bump stocks,” or anything similar that is designed to increase the rate of fire but doesn’t convert a semi-automatic rifle into an automatic weapon.
As I have heard mentioned by lots of others, many accessories can be said to "increase the rate of fire" of an AR well beyond a slide-fire stock. Foolish wording like that will get upgraded triggers and all sorts of things banned. It could probably even be stretched to include high capacity magazines.
