Yes. That’s just what I’ll do. Convert a 1911 to full automatic.

There is no delegated power given the federal to restrict what Arms the people can own.

I have a couple of 33 round magazines for my glock 19. I could use one of those to go full GTA. :)

Matters not.... if they decide you shouldn’t be having it, you won’t.

By the time you got your finger off the trigger, the magazine is empty and 4 rounds are in the ceiling.

What a foolish way to waste ammunition! Especially at today's prices.

I would not have one of those devices even if they were legal.

The distributor, and his prospective customers ought to be prosecuted for felony stupidity.

That's a crime, isn't it?

In fact, infringement is expressly prohibited.

““Machine guns pose a dangerous threat to public safety and have no place on Chicago-area streets,” said U.S. Attorney Lausch.”

No known connection but this year to date 3,991 people have been shot down on the streets of Chicago.

This is considerably smaller than an army combat division. But the year is not out.

I can't imagine how deadly my KAHR MK9 would be on full auto with its 7+1 magazine capacity.

Yes, they will use up the hoarded, civilian ammo too quickly.
