It does little to make us safer and is just a 'feel good' ban on what's basically a novelty item. I've used a bump stock before while target shooting and all it did was make it IMPOSSIBLE to accurately fire the gun. I felt like it would make me considerably less dangerous than if I was just using a normal gun.
