| 0:00.0 | Good Tuesday morning, I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, |
| 0:05.5 | sponsored by Coke Industries. And I'm Jake Sherman. The death toll in Las Vegas is up to 59 and the number |
| 0:10.7 | of wounded is up to 527 according to the AP. Hospitals are packed in Las Vegas. Here's what you need to |
| 0:18.3 | know. The AP is reporting that the gun was outfitted with |
| 0:20.9 | bumpstocks, something that converts a semi-automatic gun to a fully automatic gun. That's how the |

| 1:11.8 | related to this bill. While it doesn't stand a chance of becoming law, a Republican leadership |
| 1:16.4 | aide told us that there were some unspecified issues with the bill. The Las Vegas shooting |

| 1:26.6 | targeting Republican lawmakers in |
| 1:28.0 | June and also in Las Vegas. Any tightening of gun restrictions in an all-Republican Washington |
| 1:33.1 | is hard to imagine. But this is one area gun rights advocates are watching closely. One veteran |
| 1:38.5 | operative for the gun lobby said the latest shooting could bring the debate roaring back. Speaker |
