The Trump-era policy prohibiting bump stocks became effective in 2019 after the Supreme Court declined to block it. The shooter used bump stocks on 14 firearms, causing a horrific initial toll of 58 fatalities and over 400 injuries in less than 10 minutes. The Trump administration moved to ban them in 2018, a response to a devastating mass shooting during a Las Vegas music festival.
