Fully Automatic Bullet Buttons [View all]

I saw this video earlier today that shows how a "bullet button" makes guns into automatic assault guns. I don't know enough about guns to know how this works. The news said that this is what the terrorists used in California.

My questions are:

How is this even legal?

Why is the media not reporting this?
