It was just sitting in the corner, and I heard on the news that I could get $150.

Someone, he reasoned, had to be first. Drafted after a Las Vegas gunman used a bump stock during the deadly Oct. 1 mass shooting that left 59 dead and hundreds injured, the ordinance bans the possession of a gun with such a device attached within city limits.
