The Bump Stock Ban Stemmed From a Horrific Mass Shooting
Briefly

The ban on bump stocks overturned by the Supreme Court was a rarity in an era of deep division over gun violence, garnering support from Democrats, Republicans, and even the National Rifle Association.
Bump stocks allow a semiautomatic rifle to fire faster and gained attention after the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history at a concert in Las Vegas.
The gunman in the Las Vegas shooting used rifles modified with bump stocks to simulate machine gun-like rapid firing.
Bump stocks cost as little as $99 and enable a weapon to slide back and forth rapidly, making a semiautomatic rifle function similarly to a machine gun.
