The Trump White House has a new 'bump stock' strategy: Blame Obama

Another mass shooting has spurred another rush to judgement. After the Las Vegas attack, Democrats complain about Republican leniency on the gun industry. But White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has flipped the argument.
In two separate interviews Thursday, Conway pointed out that the previous administration was responsible for the regulatory oversight that first made bump stocks legal. In short, the Trump White House now argues that it's Obama's fault.
"I would just note for the viewers that since ‘bump stock' has not probably been in the lexicon before," Conway said on Fox and Friends, "this is a device that President Obama's ATF decided would not be regulated in 2010. I think that's an important part of this conversation."
