On 19 Oct 2018 I downloaded LasVegasStripShooting_LVMPD_Final_Report.pdf.
It does no good to claim the Las Vegas shooter did not use bumpstocks.
The Las Vegas MPD summarized the FBI analysis of the 14 rifles fired and 1057 shell casings recovered and matched to the rifles.
Nine of the weapons in his two rooms were not fired but were found with loaded magazines in place.
The weapons fired were found with empty or partial magazines.
One rifle that had fired 100 empties had no magazine (as tho Paddock had started to change magazines but went to another loaded weapon).

The two rooms 32-134 and (main) 32-135 had an internal connecting door, in addition to entrances on the hallway.
ADDED: with that established.
1 Oct 2017 Stephen Paddock killed 58 people by firing from a hotel down into the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas using several rifles equipped with bumpstocks.
Horrifying.
25 Mar 1990 Julio Gonzalez killed 87 people by setting fire to the entrance stairwell of the Happy Land social club in NYC using a jug containing $1 worth of gasoline.
Equally horrifying (in my opinion).
In a typical year, FBI Uniform Crime Reports table of homicide by weapon used lists 600 to 800 homicides by assailants using "personal weapons" (fists, hands, feet, etc) -- in other words, unarmed assailants.
Should be horrifying (and more likely to affect me tomorrow than a bumpstock or a gas can).
Aside from the Las Vegas horror bumpstocks are rarely used in crime. Bumpstocks have been outlawed. But is anyone really safer because of that? It strikes me as effective as trashing Beatles' White Albums after the Helter Skelter murders. (At least there was no executive order felonizing owners of White Albums containing the song that allegedly inspired Charlie Manson.)
People still are allowed hands and feet.
People can still go to gas stations and fill cans with gasoline.
Making bumpstocks illegal, and apparently driving a lot of them underground, felonizing owners who were not at Las Vegas and who never did anything, really does not make me feel safer. What I do worry about is what next horror will be answered by an executive order to symbolically answer public outrage. That legislation by fiat out of fear is the true threat.
