Is a "bump fire" the same as a "trigger crank"?
I've seen news reports that, based on cellphone video recordings, the rate of fire at times was such the shooter may have used either an automatic weapon (heavily regulated, as you say), or a trigger crank.
Also, news reports indicate the shooter had handguns in the hotel room. I'm no gun expert, so can pistols fire a round a distance of nearly 1,500 horizontal feet?
You and I both know how this debate is going to go. The hardliners on both sides will polarize it.
There has to be some kind of middle ground, Papa Smurf, where we can get a handle on this kind of violence.
People in other industrialized nations have access to firearms for hunting or self-defense purposes, with nowhere near the number of mass shootings we have.
And, no, freedom does NOT mean we have to put up with a risk of being shot to death by a high-stakes gambler from a hotel room half a block away while enjoying a music concert.
