I will just bring him along with me on the fishing trip I have planned in the next 7-10 business days
Thanks to the technical definition of a machinegun, using wording that the NRA asked for as a substitute for the original wording that Congressmen (one who were woefully ignorant of how the mechanics of a gun worked) had proposed in the N.F.A. of 1934, a Forced Reset Trigger isn't a machinegun. Because it takes two functions to make it shoot twice in a row, and the shooter's finger has to both release and re-engage the trigger to accomplish this.
But I agree that from the OPERATOR'S PERSPECTIVE, it both "feels like" and "sprays bullets like" a machinegun!
A bump stock does the same thing. You can make it feel like full auto, and you can dump a mag with the same practical rate of fire as if it were full auto, so from YOUR PERSPECTIVE AS A HUMAN BEING it's a machinegun.
But the National Firearms Act doesn't define full auto function based on a human's feelings, or the overall rate of fire of a weapon's system. It is based on the mechanics of triggers, sears, and other fire control parts.
*************************************************
If CONGRESS itself wanted to amend the NFA with new legislation that changes the definition of machinegun, or even adds a new category of NFA-restricted devices that they might call "Rapid Fire Weapon / Accessory" (RFW / RFWA), this would be the right way for the feds to do this, from an Administrative law and Separation-of-Powers aspect. Don't let BATF just change the law on their own with a rule change coming from bureaucrats sitting at a desk.
(That's setting aside the issue of the 2nd Amendment covering machineguns due to their value as homeland defense weapons.)
PS: I don't want Congress to pass any new laws, but I'm saying that would be the better way to accomplish the goal if that's what our political leaders want.
Personally, I love rate-of-fire enhancing products.
Bump stocks are great, or WERE great when I could get Wolf ammo for 18 cents per round.
I still have my BMF Activator, a trigger-crank that dates back to the 1970s, I think, and works well with a 10/22 rifle when said rifle has a bipod and a 25 round mag in place. I'd say it lets you shoot about 500 rounds per minute. The same as a model 1918 BAR.

Man oh man…. Almost got one. Heard some ppl l know may have one. Smh what to do what to do
Constitutionally , none of the present rulz have a leg to stand on. Yet they stand…. Hmmm?
Funny how politics can change a decades long item and redefine a cheap play toy into a deadly "machine gun". The world is turning fast.
I saw some sort of documentary recently showing an individual who sold the Glock giggle switches in bulk... like thousands of them
I also saw a bunch of video clips of males who all showed off these giggle switches on their Glocks from all over the nation. Not just one but hundreds of them...
