They're not machine guns fyi.

We know that. But the vast majority of the American public does not. They see a firearm pouring out bullets and they reach the obvious conclusion….its a machine gun. Does it really matter if it’s a mechanical spring or a cam or a plate or a pin or a finger?

Show me more than 1 crime ever committed since the NFA that featured a full auto weapon used by it's legal owner or anyone legally in possession of one. There is 1 that I know of, that was a case of a law officer coming home , catching his wife with someone else and using his department issue Thompson on both of them.
Also , what makes you think anyone has managed to crawl out of that so called hole ?

Yes, yes it does.
That’s a function of cost and scarcity, my friend. With the **possible** exception of Vegas/Paddock, most criminals, to include mass shooters, have either no preparation or preparation that starts at an off-the-rack firearm and the cheapest mags/ammo possible. A federal Class 3 background check and $50k is a heck of an obstacle; a $200 FRT or Glock switch or whatnot isn’t.

Remember Ferguson, Minneapolis, Kenosha, and Baltimore?
There's a whole lot of volatile action out there looking for anyplace it can find to escalate a fight and there are organized groups prepared to burn loot and murder.
They not only know of these things, they have them.
They didn't issue flint locks in Nam for a reason.

yes, it matters. the legal definitions of full and semi auto differentiate between them by whether or not the shooters finger is initiating the firing cycle.
A key ring with a shoe string wrapped around the trigger and guard of an M1 Garand and tied to the charging handle is a machinegun. once you pull the key ring to constrict the shoestring on the trigger, the bolt closing takes over the action at the opposite end of the string.
in FRT it is always the finger initiating the firing sequence satisfying the definition of "one shot per pull of the trigger".
Trust me on this, I follow these developments closely. For every idea that conforms to the legal definitions, there are dozens of others that do not. and the practitioners of those other concepts do not care about the legality of those devices one iota. You are free to looks up "Yankee Boogle" "AR coat hangar" "Shoestring machinegun" "Glock switch" "Choosy Express" and the subsequent rabbit hole of other options where these all will lead.
Thank god we have a legal option to regain some equality of force.
None of those get any better with a bunch of bullets spewed about.

nope ... but they become survivable if you have some to spew .... Just ask Kyle
Kyle Rittenhouse is exactly who we really, really don’t want to be. An idiot, escalating a volatile situation for no convincing reason, killing angry people he provoked.

I watched every frame of the video that was entered into evidence .... you obviously did not.
Acquitted with every round justified
There’s a huge difference between acquitted and in good judgement.

that would have been negligence .... and a jury of 12 did not agree.
Even if it were ... the guy who fired the first shot (removing any doubt about reasonable belief of death or great bodily harm to satisfy most SD law) showed worse judgement. Lunging at an armed individual that you've been pursuing ... far worse judgement.
Truth be told, I don't even like the kid. but he is a solid chapter in the SD textbook.
