The perp had obviously checked out other concerts before he picked the one in Vegas, and somebody made a pretty interesting comment on that. If he had picked a rap concert, the politicians would now be focusing on how to ban neo-nazis, and the bump stock would just be a footnote. Politicians want to take "quick and decisive action", and they don't care what that action is as long as it pleases media.

That's fairly true for the S.A.F.E. Act, the NY governor's late-on-a-Sunday-night executive action. It is obviously an attempt to garner political capital by the appearance of "doing something." Allowable magazines were initially restricted to seven rounds, but was soon changed to ten, a number that is less ridiculous. Another provision of the regulation is to require background checks for every ammo purchase. Though it is still in the act, the provisions concerning ammo have not been implemented--for the notable reason that it will be an hardship on retailers' time and resources, and that it might overload a system that is limited to begin with because the database is not necessarily up-to-date, or even accurate. We can no longer receive ammo from suppliers outside the state unless it goes through a FFL dealer, who merely receives it and hands it over after we make the trip to his facility (no BG check). We kissed our ability to purchase semi-auto "assault rifles"--you know, the ones that LOOK so scary to the uninformed who are making these laws--goodbye at that point, but can keep what we already have once it is registered with the state police. They must be sold out-of-state or transferred to an immediate family member. This was rushed through shortly after the Connecticut school incident.
