Seems like an easy opportunity to show an action being taken.

Wow, amazing! First incident of bump stock killing and this is your answer for crime and killing. I have done the same exact thing with a large rubber band and you think that making a law will keep this from happening again? Hey, NEWS FLASH, he had bomb making material and could have blown up the whole hotel if he wished. If he didn't have a gun, he would have. Is there any doubt?
No, the answer is to prosecute every little gun related crime like President Ford wanted to do. Give an ADDITIONAL five years to anyone using a gun in the commission of a crime. Will that stop this kind of killing? NOPE. Nothing would have stopped it. You cannot regulate mental illness. And many mentally ill are functioning in society. There is NO absolute solution for violent behavior, other than keeping everyone drugged.
According to PEW, there are now half the gun related deaths than in 1993. AND there is twice the amount of guns owned as about that same period. Does it mean anything? Probably not, but it is an interesting question.
