Convert Your Semi-Auto Rifle to FULL-AUTO for Only $369 -- No License Required!

(Mods, I'm purposefully posting this here and not in Outdoor Life, because I want to discuss its gun policy implications.)

Have any you guys and gals heard or seen this little accessory yet?

What do you think? Technically its completely legal under current law -- its not a mechanical device, but relies solely on "bump energy" with the stock bouncing in and out to assist in guiding your trigger finger back-and-forth in rapid motion, simulating full-auto operation.

I think its a pretty cool innovation, but it definitely raises questions: does this violate the SPIRIT of the law? Is it a "loop-hole" that needs to be plugged? Should such a device be banned or required to be registered under existing 1934 NFA regulations because it makes it too cheap and easy to simulate full-auto? Which begs the question: why should only rich people be able to afford and enjoy full-auto? (The cost of all the ammunition aside.)

I'm thinking of buying one (or more) and just sitting on them in case some nut-case decides to use one (or something like it) to mow down a bunch of kids, like that right-wing asshole in Norway. If the government did it like the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban worked, it might be legal to own "pre-bans" but not "post-bans" -- and I'm sure the going prices for the remaining supply will sky-rocket. Could be quite an investment.

Your thoughts?
