A year after Vegas shooting, ATF emails reveal blame, alarm over bump stocks
Within hours of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history a year ago in Las Vegas, the federal agency in charge of regulating guns found itself under pressure to ban a rapid-fire device and penned in by legal boundaries that officials said prevented them from acting quickly, according to newly disclosed emails from inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Blame rained down on the ATF after gunfire showered concertgoers from a 32nd-floor room at the Mandalay Bay hotel Oct. 1, leaving 58 dead and more than 800 injured. Critics popped up everywhere โ cable news anchors and politicians on both sides of the aisle, the National Rifle Association and Gabrielle Giffordsโ anti-gun-violence group, and even from the ATFโs own ranks of current and former agents.
The focus was Slide Fire, a plastic add-on known as a โbump stockโ that allowed Stephen Paddock to run through more than 1,100 rounds of ammunition in 10 minutes. Bump stocks were affixed to half of Paddockโs guns. Since 2010, up to 520,000 of the devices have been purchased in the USA, the Department of Justice reported.
The emails offer an unvarnished look inside the agency as it reacted to the tragedy. They help explain why, despite almost immediate bipartisan support for a ban and an endorsement several months later by President Donald Trump, bump stocks continue to be available in most of the country.
