re: #301 researchok

What you describe is relatively small problem, all things being equal.

There is a far bigger problem.

There are kits being sold every day that convert semi automatic weapons to full automatic weapons. Tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of these kits have been sold.

They convert a legal weapon into an illegal weapons and it’s all perfectly legal.

That really is the 900 lb gorilla in the gun world.

Actually, those kits are much more rare than you think. The ATF’s mandates for semi-auto firearms are such that said guns must not be easily converted to full-auto. Such a conversion is very hard for most weapons and beyond the capacity of most gangs. Those with the skills needed to do such a thing won’t do it, because they know that an illegal conversion to full auto means 10 years in federal prison if you get caught.
