In the shooters hotel room had what are called bump fire stocks or bump stocks. >> what are the modifications associated with the weaponry? i cant give you an answer on whether any of them are automatic or not, but we are aware of a device called a bump stock, and that enables an individual to speed up the discharge of ammunition. >> now, a total of 47 guns have been found, purchased in four different states. on semiautomatic weapons the trigger has to be pulled each time a round is fired. an au...
