| Inventor of 'bump stock' spent years fighting for device, and lost Posted: 06 Oct 2017 03:03 PM PDT ![Inventor of 'bump stock' spent years fighting for device, and lost]( "Inventor of 'bump stock' spent years fighting for device, and lost") For years, Bill Akins fought to capitalize on his idea - with the U.S. government, his former business partner and a rival competitor - but found himself stymied at every turn. The 63-year-old Marine veteran and Elvis impersonator voiced his sorrow at the tragedy in Las Vegas, where authorities said Stephen Paddock had bump stocks installed on 12 of his rifles. "I would like to express my dismay and sincere condolences to the victims, families and anyone affected by the recent Las Vegas mass shooting," Akins said during a telephone interview from his home about 45 minutes north of Tampa, Florida.

| Russian protesters rally on Vladimir Putin's birthday Posted: 07 Oct 2017 08:10 AM PDT  Police detained more than 100 supporters of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Saturday as thousands rallied nationwide on President Vladimir Putin's 65th birthday, calling for the leader to retire. Mr Putin, who has now reached the official retirement age of lower-ranking state employees, is widely expected to run again in next year's presidential election and enjoys a high approval rating. Mr Navalny has declared his intention to run in the election next March and was campaigning in provincial cities as part of his long-shot bid for the presidency. He was arrested late last month and a court last week sentenced him to 20 days in jail on charges of repeatedly violating a law on organising public meetings. Demonstrators attend an unauthorised anti-Kremlin rally called by opposition leader Alexei Navalny Credit: AFP Mr Navalny's arrest galvanised supporters in 80 cities, who turned out on Saturday in a nationwide protest against the ruling. "I came out to support the opposition because I don't agree with the course our country has taken," said Anatoly Morozov, a student dressed in a fox costume at the St Petersburg protest. "The ignorance and insanity has reached impossible levels." Protesters chanted "Free Navalny," "Putin's a theif" and "Fourth term in prison," referring to the president's expected run for re-election. Last year Mr Putin played hockey on his birthday, but the mood this year was not as light. The Kremlin said on Friday he would be taking phone calls and attending a meeting of the security council in Sochi.

Mr Putin's spokesman warned that violators could be prosecuted, but activists declared they would go ahead anyway. "Many supporters want to see Navalny as president, they come out on the streets because for now that's the only format in which they can express this," said Polina Kostyleva, the head of Mr Navalny's St Petersburg campaign office. She was detained and fined this week after police raided the office and found fliers about the protest.

In the Urals city of Yekaterinburg, where an estimated 700 people came to the demonstration including maverick mayor Yevgeny Roizman, police detained at least 18 people, according to independent monitoring group OVD-Info. In Moscow, protesters chanted "down with the tsar" and marched toward the Kremlin before running into a wall of riot police.

| The NRA, potent foe of gun controls in the US Posted: 07 Oct 2017 01:01 AM PDT  The latest US massacre, in which a lone man rained gunfire from a Las Vegas hotel window onto a country music concert below, killing 58 people, has again raised the issue of the country's lax gun regulation. It has only five million members, but stirs trepidation in any politician it says threatens Americans' gun rights. With its normal allies, Republicans, controlling the White House and Congress, there is little chance of a move to significantly tighten restrictions on guns, despite the carnage last Sunday in Las Vegas.
