And you can get a photocopied guide to making them full auto at most gun shows. That should be banned for sure.

You can’t ban the guides, its been tried and the bans don’t survive a 1st Amendment challenge. The Supreme Court has been very consistent on that point, subjecting any kind of restrictions on speech to Strict Scrutiny, which means that the presumption is that the restriction is unconstitutional.

As for those guides, most of them are out of date. Firearms manufacturers have changed their designs to make the types of conversions depicted impossible. Illegal conversion are bad for business and a gun that is easily converted cannot be manufactured (per federal regulations).
