No change in the law would of changed the above statement, the shooter never purchased those guns. Even if his father gave the shooter permission, the second he carried the guns onto school property he broke the law. Shooter's don't care about laws. It's irresponsible gun owners that are the problem. The boy's father either giving permission, or he's not keeping his weapons secured in the home was all the shooter needed to be prepared.
As far as a bumpstock, if I were a shooter I wouldn't want one. A 25 round magazine would be gone in 2 seconds. A semi-automatic that fires as quick as you pull the trigger would help 10 magazines go a lot further. Outlaw bumpstocks if you want, but I don't see how they make a difference. The shooters shoots 25 rounds so quickly, he's having to reload more often and his accuracy would be way down.
