Bump Schlock

Mississippi Second Amendment attorney Stephen Stamboulieh received copies of the emails and fed some to pro-gun online news sites such as Ammoland.  [More]
Leave it to USA Today to neither link to nor synopsize that piece so its readers would know that "on-scene ATF personnel were not allowed to physically examine the interior of the weapons.”

And point of order: "Reporter" Nick Penzenstadler writes "The focus was Slide Fire, a plastic add-on known as a 'bump stock' that allowed Stephen Paddock to run through more than 1,100 rounds of ammunition in 10 minutes."

If he has evidence or an attributable statement from someone in the know that "affixed" stocks were even used, he'd have an exclusive.

A point I've tried to make many times, too. No report released to the public has stated that firearms equipped with bump-fire stocks were used. No ballistics data has been released that would tie rounds fired to any particular weapon. The only firearm actually stated to have been used was the revolver with which the shooter suicided.
