Slide Fire, the inventor of the now-infamous bump stock, will resume sales Cyber Monday.
The Texas-based company sent an email this week detailing its plan to release a slew of limited inventory starting midnight Nov. 27, warning customers it expects “high traffic volume.”
It’s only the second time in nearly eight weeks Slide Fire has accepted new orders — a side effect of the ongoing public backlash since its flagship product became synonymous with the deadliest mass shooting in recent American history.
Some 58 people died and more than 500 were wounded Oct. 1 when a 64-year-old gunman fired into a country music festival from his hotel suite 32 stories above the Vegas strip. Bump stocks — a legal gun modification known to increase the rate of fire — promptly soared from obscurity into national headlines after the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed 12 of the modifiers were found in the shooter’s two-room suite at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
Major retailers, including Walmart and Cabela’s, pulled the devices from store shelves in the days after the shooting. Slide Fire, likewise, suspended new orders on its website
