I'm sorry but I have no idea what you're trying to say in this comment. nt Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #69

He didn't have an assault rifle permatex Jul 2012 #18
It was originally a semi, but was converted to fully auto 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #24
No one has said that at all. nt hack89 Jul 2012 #25
I AM saying it, and here's the proof. 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #34
Do you have any evidence at all that this device was used by the Colorado shooter? NT Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #39
Given how many rounds he got off 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #45
One bullet per second krispos42 Jul 2012 #58
If this isn't full-auto, the effect is certainly the same 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #106
99th_Monkey, I can't find any reports that the shooter used any sort of mechanical aid in order to Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #71

"AR-15 CONVERSION (to auto) KIT" easily available on-line 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #37
That's a bump fire device. It doesn't actually convert the gun to an automatic. Kaleva Jul 2012 #68
Ahhh? Hello? are you not aware of such on-line offers? 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #42
That is complete bullshit. NT Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #33
Modern semi autos are not easy to convert permatex Jul 2012 #36
Please explain this "conversion kit" offer on-line then. 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #38
Again accuracy in advertising clffrdjk Jul 2012 #48
It's a bump fire device and not an actual conversion kit. Kaleva Jul 2012 #70
But the effect is pretty much the same 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #87
Yes. I agree. Kaleva Jul 2012 #90

Splitting hairs 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #67
If AR-15 isn't an "assault rifle", why are vendors promoting it as such? 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #32
I don't know why they're advertising an AR-15 as an assault rifle permatex Jul 2012 #40
What do you make of these "AR-15 Conversion Kits" (from semi to automatic)? 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #43
Have you ever heard of a sear? oldhippie Jul 2012 #75
I'd like to give you full credit 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #82

Prove your own claims that is all I asked clffrdjk Jul 2012 #51
I provided links 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #54
Not full auto, just working the trigger extremely fast rl6214 Jul 2012 #62
I don't see any "proof" of your claims 99th_Monkey Jul 2012 #66
One still has to pull the trigger once for every round fired and then release the trigger... Kaleva Jul 2012 #72
