Dianne Feinstein : No Law Could've Stopped Vegas Attacker but 'We Need a Law' Against Bump Stocks
Dianne Feinstein
During the October 8 airing of Face the Nation  Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) admitted that no law would have stopped the Las Vegas attacker  then proceeded to push for a law to ban bump stocks.
 Feinstein  responded  âNo  [the attacker] passed background checks  registering for handguns and other weapons on multiple occasions.â  She  then promoted a bill  she  authored this week  creating a law to ban bump stocks and said  she  already has 38 co-sponsors for it.
When Dickerson mentioned that the NRA is pushing for the ATF to review its 2010 approval of bump stocksâa review which could result in new regulations âFeinstein  said  âI thought that was as step forward  and itâs appreciated  [but] regulations arenât going to do it. We need a law.â
Again   Feinstein  said no law could have stopped the Vegas attacker but âwe need a lawâ against bump stocks.
 She  made another convoluted statement when asked if  her  legislation to ban bump stocks also bans semiautomatic firearms.  Feinstein  said  her  legislation does not ban semiautomatic firearms; that it is âwritten in clean Englishâ and  she  will send a copy to anyone who calls  her  office so they can see for themselves.
 Feinstein  answered  âI agree with them  to a great extent.â
