After the tragedy in Las Vegas, Congressman Rodney Davis wants to see a closer look at laws governing bump stock technology. 

 

Weapons modification was apparently used in the attack on the Vegas strip outdoor concert where 59 were killed and more than 500 were wounded. Bump stocks allow gun users to legally simulate a fully automatic weapon even though fully automatic weapons have been off limits to the general public for the last three decades. 

 

Davis has signed onto a letter to asking the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to review the law regarding bump stock technology. Davis says he hadn't heard of bump stocks until the Vegas incident. He says there is no place for politics in this debate or knee-jerk reactions, but believes we can have a thoughtful, non-partisan discussion about the facts. 

 

An Illinois man known for honoring the victims of mass shootings around the country installed 58 white crosses on the Las Vegas Strip on Thursday. Greg Zanis drove nearly 2,000 miles from the Chicago area to put up the crosses on a patch of grass near the iconic "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign, not far from the site of the country music festival where the massacre took place on Sunday night.
