there's also something called a "gat crank", which is a mechanism that you place inside the trigger guard, and then you turn a crank - the device repeatedly presses down on the trigger for you, again to simulate automatic fire.

there was also a recent invention of a glove with a small electric motor that causes the index finger to twitch, again with the intent of allowing you to virtually pull the trigger so quickly that it simulates automatic fire

dogg its way stupider than that. here's the actual batfe determination letter sent to the slide fire guys

quote:

U.S. Department of Justice AND EXPL
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

JUN 07 2010
This is in reference to your submission and accompanying letter to the Firearms Technology Branch (FTB), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), asking for an evaluation of a replacement shoulder stock for an AR-15 type rifle. Your letter advises that the stock (referenced in this reply as a “bump-stock”) is intended to assist persons whose hands have limited mobility to “bump-fire” an AR-15 type rifle. Your submission includes the following: a block to replace the pistol grip while providing retention for the selector stop spring; a hollow shoulder stock intended to be installed over the rear of an AR-15 fitting with a sliding-stock type buffer-tube assembly; and a set of assembly instructions.

The FTB evaluation confirmed that the submitted stock (see enclosed photos) does attach to the rear of an AR-15 type rifle which has been fitted with a sliding shoulder-stock type buffer-tube assembly. The stock has no automatically functioning mechanical parts or springs and performs no automatic mechanical function when installed. In order to use the installed device, the shooter must apply constant forward pressure with the non-shooting hand and constant rearward pressure with the shooting hand. Accordingly, we find that the “bump-stock” is a firearm part and is not regulated as a firearm under Gun Control Act or the National Firearms Act.

Per your telephoned instructions, we will contact you separately to make return delivery arrangements.

We thank you for your inquiry and trust that the foregoing has been responsive.
Sincerely yours,
John R. Spencer
Chief, Firearms Technology Branch

this is why the most sensible gun control position is no guns allowed at all

Lol, why? If they prohibit gun sales to anyone that's ever been prescribed an antidepressant, nobody in the U.S. will ever again be able to buy a gun. Problem solved.

What happens at the gun show, stays at the gun show.

I think the best idea is to run with the method Australia used. Do a cash for clunkers, but guns. (Come on goons, I know you've got some good names for this.) Gold for guns??? I dunno.

Basically, if you institute a buyback for a high enough price, the invisible hand of the free market will compel people to steal each others guns and sell them to the government.

in video games with semiautomatic fire, you can set the mouse wheel to fire the gun. then you just roll the wheel and fire 20 shots in 2 seconds

you ain't gonna find it elsewhere either, not even some far-flung Pacific island because either a huge hurricane is going to hit you, the sea will reclaim it, or the loving Aussies are going to pave over your rear end to make a concentration camp. Europe is loving toast, everyone there is either trying to get out or get rich trying to suck russian oligarchs off, Scandinavia is thawing into fever swamps where they sell plots of land under the north sea to exxon or rosneft, China is rolling on Africa like some roofie-slinging frat prince.
