I think it is reasonable to make bump fire or slide fire stocks and trigger cranks as regulated as full automatic weapons are now. They are, for all practical purposes, work-arounds to gain comparable rate of fire to fully automatic weapons. I would sleep better knowing that someone had to jump through a few hoops to buy these things rather than just grab their beer and hop down to Cabelas, which is probably where the Los Vegas shooter bought his.

BTW- They are now estimating that he fired 90 rounds in the first 9 seconds, not the 60 rounds I estimated yesterday. The NY Times had an interesting comparison with the Orlando Nightclub shooter's rate of fire:
