Bump Stock Patent

The bump stock was patented 8 years before the Las Vegas shooting and has been employed in 1 crime but now look at all the political capital being used to ban it.

On the other hand, texting and driving, which is already banned is responsible for 330,000 injuries each year. Why are we not doing more to prevent texting and driving?

The National Highway and Safety Board says that distracted driving claimed 3,477 lives in 2015, which is ten times as many killed with rifles of all types (not just semi auto look alike so called assault weapons). So you are 10 times more likely to be killed by a distracted driver than any kind of rifle. Where is the outrage?
