I repeat:

> When their poorly-thought-through stunt blows up on their face and see the law still applies, they clutch their pearls claiming they demand law enforcement should be stupid and incompetent enough to fall for their gimmicks.

And here you are, whining that others didn't fell for that pathetic gimmick.

You are asserting every ar-15 is a machine gun if those cards are. Is that really your position?

I don't know who do you think you're fooling, or if you think everyone around you is a utter moron. The guy was selling machine-gun conversion kits. More specifically, he was selling lightning links which turns a semi-automatic AR-15 into a fully automatic machine gun.

The shapes depicted when cut out by the ATF did not induce automatic fire nor the function of a lightning link. After the ATF modified further they only induced hammer follow malfunctions which every single ar-15 can do with the parts sold.

You are asserting every single ar-15 is an illegal machine gun. You should read the testimony and about hammer follow to find out why you're wrong and why his case will absolutely be overturned.
