(805 posts)1. Fuck the NRA but that isn't entirely accurate
about buying a fully automatic rifle.
I know this and I'm not even a gun guy.

(805 posts)3. You can still pull the trigger pretty damn fast on them
with a 100 round mag drum. It can seem like automatic , that's for sure

(53,016 posts)4. yeah, and the quote what Gahdan said
not a determination of the actual law. He seems to think they are as good as an automatic.

I think they used a simple rubber band somehow.
