“Blaming guns or bump stocks for the actions of a lunatic, is the same as blaming McDonald’s for heart disease,”

No...

Some lunatic did not go around and stuff Big Macs down the throats of a huge crowd of people, killing 57 of them with heart attacks and causing another 500 to have a stroke.

People choose to eat bad food and run the risk of heart disease... the concert people did not choose to have some 1000 rounds of high-velocity ammunition shot at them.
