First, the ruling defines a semiautomatic action as being made into a fully automatic one by the addition of a device that has no effect on the function of the action, only on the ability of the user to use it.
Funny that, by the way... I have lightened the action on triggers enough to know what can happen, internal to the action, with that in mind.
And there is a vast distinction between an automatic and a gun that unloads itself uncontrollably, which is why it is nothing but an idiotic party trick performed at tailgate parties down by the river.
A bipod and a hand crank/cam arrangement would potentially work as well and be as or more accurate if set up right.
That's right too - a simple substructure, clamped to any semi-auto, with far better results... Still a party trick though - as with a bit of practice, as I am sure you know, a man can come to compete with that cam with nothing but a finger, and likely with greater accuracy, as afforded by the practicing.
I'm all in favor of conserving ammo and making each shot count, so I'm not interested in having one, but that doesn't mean I won't jealously guard my right to do so if I choose.
It's like owning a Lamborghini. Useless at this latitude, in winter, can't see over or around traffic, no ground clearance, bugger all for traction in snow. Sorry, don't need it. But that doesn't mean I think they should be outlawed.
That's right. And I know a feller personally that is hell on wheels with a Colt. He cas rattle that gun so fast it sounds like a single sound... And every shot will go precisely where he put it. I have seen him draw and split a dime edgeways faster than you can blink.... Either hand, or both at the same time... Yeah, he may only have twelve shots at a time, but...
And yes, suppressors should be hanging from a display in blister packs at Walmart and other outlets.
Damn right. and why I pay the law no nevermind where it has no business being.
