Federal officials campaign to address rise in machine gun ‘conversion devices’

Federal law enforcement officials have launched a new initiative to inform the public of what they say is a growing problem that involves the illegal modification of semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic weapons.

“These devices are not gun accessories. They are illegal and considered machine guns under federal law,” says ATF LA Field Division Special Agent in Charge Christopher Bombardiere.

He adds that the ATF has recovered more than 31,000 of the devices in the last five years and compared the problem to the rise of ghost guns — untraceable firearms that are assembled using spare or 3D-printed parts and which have no serial number.

Oh yeah, unnumbered firearms..... had to throw that out there, huh? Only difference is, homemade firearms are completely legal under federal law.

Fuck the ATF.
