And with the target-rich environment outside the Mandalay Bay casino in  Las Vegas Sunday, former Army Ranger Frankie McRae says accuracy was unimportant.\u003cbr/\u003e              McRae is owner of 37 PSR Gun Club near Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He has a license to own and fire fully automatic machine guns.\u003cbr/\u003e              He doesn't like bump stocks because they make a rifle less accurate. They work by replacing the gun's factory stock with a device that slides back and forth as the gun fires. The recoil \"bumps\" the finger against the trigger after each shot, which means it is still firing like a semi-automatic rifle.\u003cbr/\u003e              Because Paddock was firing from an elevated position into a crowded concert, he didn't need to be accurate.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"The inaccuracy of it really had nothing to do with that,\" McRae says. \"It was a kill box that he had already defined and had used different positions to cover better.\"\u003cbr/\u003e              There has been talk for years about banning these devices. McRae doesn't see that as a solution.\u003cbr/\u003e              \" I'm a constitutionalist. And the Second Amendment says it shall not be infringed. And the word `infringe' means by banning parts on firearms actually is against the Constitution,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003e              \"You know, either way, you know, a hammer could kill people, just like a gun can kill people, just like a car has been used to kill people,\" adds McRae. \"You look in France.
