90. No, they aren't.

Otherwise you could point to a slew of crimes committed with these supposedly converted weapons.


LAPD Detective Jimmy Trahin, testifying before the California State Assembly (Feb. 13,1989):

"over 4,000 guns that came into the custody of our unit last year, less than 120 would be classified as this military-type weapon. Of those, only ten or less than ten were actually illegally converted to fully-automatic machine gun stocks. Why? Because these military style assault weapons of today are not easily and readily convertible without extensive knowledge of modifications to the weapon and/or substitution of available parts.

These military style assault weapons of today are not easily and readily convertible without extensive knowledge and modifications to the weapon and/or substitution of available parts.

Now, in my 12 years within the unit, considering the enormous amount of firearms that we have taken into custody, and that's over fifty-thousand, I would say, and these included ones from the hardcore gangs, and from the drug dealers, our unit has never, ever, had one AK-47 converted, one Ruger Mini-14 converted, an H&K 91, 93 never converted, an AR-180 never converted. So this media blitz of many of these assault weapons, or supposedly military style weapons are being converted to full automatic is not true.
"

FBI crime statistics with firearms usually denote if the weapon was fully automatic. Surely you can point to a whole bunch of them, right?

(you're falling for an urban legend)
