I suspect we will hear more about 50 and 100 round magazines in addition to bump stocks.

Agreed. Essentially, this bozo was engaging "area targets" rather than aiming at any specific individual. Note that only about 10% of his victims were killed out of more than 500 actually hit (not to make light of the horrors of this violent attack, just commenting on the differences between accurately aimed fire and massive numbers of rounds launched into groups of people).
We are sure to hear of legislative proposals to regulate or ban bump stocks, semi-auto firearms in general, magazines over certain capacities, and every other knee jerk reaction following horrific acts of insane violence.
