What is a "bump stock"?

Among the wounded from the Las Vegas shooting is Nick Campbell, a 16-year-old basketball player who was protecting his girlfriend when he was shot through his shoulder and chest. Anthony Mason spoke with him Tuesday in his hospital room.
Vegas gunman's motive
CBS News has learned that Stephen Paddock recently purchased some of the rifles and guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition that were found in his hotel room and two residences. But investigators still have not determined why he chose to target the country music festival. Jeff Pegues reports.

Gunfire rang out Monday night just two floors below Chris Bethel's hotel room in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Bethel helped Las Vegas police to locate Stephen Paddock's hotel room. CBS Dallas-Fort Worth's Ken Molestina reports.
Vegas gunman's past reveals little
