Semi-Automatic weapons are harmless (guy turns AR 15 into rapid firing weapon)

18. Game wardens and forest rangers have full arrest powers.

I don't know how much time you spend in the woods, but they pay attention to the popular gravel pits and shooting spots, and they DO check people's weapons. (They also arrest some for drinking while in possession of a firearm)

(The poster I responded to was talking about a DIAS, not a rubber band bump firing idiocy) That weapon didn't fire in full auto. He is holding the rifle loose in his hand, so the rubber band, and the kinetic recoil of the weapon ends up jacking the weapon back and forth in his hand, such that the trigger is pulled repeatedly, faster than a human would normally pull it.

And that is why these assholes never show themselves shooting at anything like a target, because they can't hit shit the way they are holding the gun. It's purely juvenile thrill only, and it's one stroke of the pen by the BATFE away from being a federal felony.

No law needs to be passed to deal with this. The BATFE has only to say that this constitutes modifying a firearm to fire full auto, and bam, that guy is holding an unregistered machine gun in his hands, even after removing the rubber band. Call the BATFE. Call the White House to lean on the BATFE. We don't even have to bring it up with Congress to end this.
