You are wrong. many Americans, more than those who oppose, would go for it. I will for any candidate, regardless of party, who runs on the above, and promises to bring a bill to the floor when elected. Many will do the same.
Maybe in Liberal/Progressive (communist) New England, and left coast. Not anywhere else. Gun control legislation, enacted, or proposed has ended the political career of many politicians. It is political suicide in the U.S. Citizens don't want to be disarmed, and easier prey for violent criminals. The police get their AFTER the crime, remember?
Then instead of even further restricting the law abiding, address the inner city gang violence which by far has the most murders, and get illegal guns out of their hands. Focus on the criminals, not widespread restrictions on the law abiding. That's the cause of your endless stream. Black, on black crime over drugs, and turf.
And where do gangbangers get their guns from? They don't legally purchase guns directly from firearm manufacturers. So how does every gang member in the nation have access to a gun?
They get them from people like you. Through some combination of theft, straw purchases and second hand sales. Law abiding gun owners are a huge part of this problem so long as you have access to guns they will have access to guns.
He didn't break any laws because he didn't have to. If he needed to, he could have broken the laws and got whatever he wanted.
Do you really think a POS who planned to murder hundreds of people would be afraid of breaking a couple of laws?
Who knows but passed on the fact he only used legal guns, legal modifications, legal magazines etc. it is simple to say that without those legal items he would not have been able to kill all of those people.
But the point remains we limit what you can bring on a plane, we limit who can enter our country, etc all to prevent mass murder and terrorism but when it comes to guns we suddenly throw up our hands and say nothing came be done? That literally makes no sense.

New England is where the revolution started. It will begin here and disarm the entire nation of guns. It is mere fear mongering to try to stop the only solution to the slaughter occurring now. Criminals will always be with us, that is why we have laws, prisons, and police. We do not have to arm them with assault weapons. The police do a great job, until they also get shot by guns.
Why is it so hard for the U.S. to be different in policy from other countries around the world? So much so, that we now must adopt, their policies on, just about everything or do we think we see greener pastures?
What comes out of Kellyanne Conway’s mouth should never be considered factual, she has her own set of facts from her world. The GOP fought the ATF for the last 8 years and blocked the appointment of an admistrator, cut their staff. Besides as stated in your article it’s not clear they had the authority.
As far as I'm concerned they can get rid of it....almost no gun owner care about full automatic fire....is pointless and wasteful for the hobby....
As a gun owner, I agree....useless range toys. I have no need for them even at the range, the gun community generally has a low opinion of them. One must remember the maniac had to incorporate not only the bumpstock, but other elements just to make them effective - high capacity mags, a tripod, optics, maybe muzzle brakes, and multiple weapons because they jam and malfunction like crazy.
In the end such restriction won't make an impact, but hey if useless legislation will make people happy OK then. My only concern is that they start there and go into other restrictions - OK we eliminated the bump stock now we eliminate high capacity mags, then tripods, then optics, etc.
