so clearly the solution to that is to just ban bump stocks because you totally cant shoot at a roughly comparable speed with far better long-distance accuracy in simple semiauto

If you can mimic the same effect as a $800 stock using a couple of rubber bands, then legislating on the $800 stock is pointless because it's trivially easy to create an illegal version of it.

PhantOS:
It would actually be better if ammunition was manufactured with heat-destructive casing so if your barrel is too hot the primer will like melt and the bullet won't fire. That's basically feasible design wise, it would force controlled fire until people learn how to install ported barrels

Realistically speaking, all current gun owners would hold onto whatever stock of traditional ammunition they have as a 'just-in-case' kind of deal, and then naturally the one kid who raids his dad's stash of guns and ammo to shoot up a school would have plenty of viable equipment to work with. You can't avoid this either unless you allow the police to perform warrant-less searches of people's households for old-style ammunition.
