Bump stock maker’s gear back on market after shooting

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/11/bump-stock-makers-gear-back-on-market-after-shooting/

One month after the deadliest mass shooting in recent U.S. history, a popular maker of the bump stocks, used by Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock, has put its product back on the market.

Slide Fire Solutions, which makes bump stock devices that modify semi-automatic weapons, has announced its devices are available temporarily after the company withdrew them in the aftermath of the tragedy.

Firearms retailer militarygunsupply.com also removed the SSAK-47 XRS AK-47 Slide Fire Stock at the time of writing, as other bump-stocks on the site were sold out.

However, one month after the massacre, Slide Fire has announced it has made a number of bump stocks available on Wednesday afternoon in a limited sale promotion, according to an email posted by website The Trace.

They never stopped making them. Demand for them spiked right after the shooting due to fears they would be banned or restricted so they stopped sales to concentrate on manufacturing more to meet demand.

There was a gun show the weekend after Sandy Hook where I used to live. Gun-strokers were lined up when it opened to get a crack at buying a gun just like used to kill those kids. Hard not to judge them as a sick group.
