Three people who witnessed the mass shooting at a concert in Las Vegas this month have filed a would-be class action lawsuit against the makers of “bump stocks,” the device used by the gunman to accelerate gunfire from his semi-automatic weapon, the ABA Journal reports. The suit was filed in a Nevada court on behalf of individuals who suffered emotional distress during the shooting. The defendant is Slide Fire Solutions, which claims the product was intended for use by people with limited hand mobility. The lawsuit claims that the company did not limit its marketing to those consumers alone.
