Machineguns are illegal without a federal license to possess one.
There are several ways to convert a standard AR-15 to a fully automatic weapon. You can literally do it with a piece of coathanger wire. This video shows would it looks like. Without a federal license, that weapon is illegal, but the guy who made the video didn’t fire it on camera.
The dude in the video below did fire a converted AR-15 on camera. All I can say is he’d better have a federal license. If he doesn’t he should be arrested, prosecuted, and go to prison.
Things are out of control in this country. If we can’t pass meaningful gun control, let’s at least enforce the gun laws we have. ATF agents and U.S. attorneys should go after anybody and everybody who illegally converts an AR-15 to a machinegun.
I don’t care how they did it, or if they’re doing it for fun or whatever. Those damn things are illegal, these people are committing felonies, they’re criminals, and I want them locked up.
I don’t care who they are, or where they live, if somebody converts an AR-15 to a machinegun without having the required federal license, loads it, fires that weapon at a target, and then posts a video of his machinegun adventure on YouTube, I want the authorities to come after him, and I want to see him get 5 years behind bars. And have a felony record, and be banned for life from owning or possessing guns again.
Enough of this crap. Illegal is illegal. Enforce the law against criminal acts.
