If it's just the bump-stocks then they are perfectly legal to buy and use.
In this case unmodified semi-automatics would have done significantly less damage. He was basically shooting fish in barrel so his only limitation was rate of fire. Though as Adamantium said it's usually not practical to use "automatic" fire with assault rifles in most situations.
