Ummm.. the slidefire stock can be purchased ANYWHERE.
It is BATFE approved and comes with a letter from BATFE stating as much.

Surprise! The Muslim Brotherhood and Alqada network which was brought into the US via Al traitor Gore, puts it’s hand in the dissarmament of America crowd.
As if I didn’t have enough bile in my throat from the pizza I ate earlier....grrrrrrr
“I got the hang of it in short order. I emptied two 20-round magazines in about a minute, including the time I took to change out the magazines”
She’s slow aint she? I could empty two 30 round mags in less than a minute without a slidefire.
[I won’t be shooting one again either. As this story was being put to bed, the news broke about this week’s mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard. Twelve people dead, eight injured.]
Considering the killer was only stopped from his rampage by a man holding an AR-15, it only stands to reason you wouldn’t shoot one again, you simpleton propagandist bitch.
The statement is misleading. Good luck finding a new model. Civilian purchases of new full automatic firearms were stopped in 1986. The remaining and dwindling pool of pre-86 weapons is the reason it costs $12,000 to $16000 for rifles which only ran $1500 or less in other circles where the legal purchase is not so constrained (military and law enforcemnt). An AK-47 is a $300 rifle in the rest of the world, but is worth well over 10 times that here because of the legal restrictions, provided it is transferable.
These artificially high prices limit the ownership of full auto for law abiding people, while those who care naught for laws can obtain smuggled weapons more cheaply, or import their own with other contraband.
She has many inaccuracies in the article.
She implies that the rifle she is offered in the gun show is fully automatic, when it clearly is not.
She is simply a propagandist. Notice that she is supported by Annenberg.
Anyone who knows guns knows an AKM isn’t a bullet-hose.
But putting a Slide-fire on it makes it one.
Moving to Can Tuck Key!
No, there are no civilian-transferable fully automatic firearms that have been made since 1986. That keeps the price is so high.
Ms. Kopsa might ask why those armed-to-the-teeth dumb hicks in Ken-tuck-ee manage to have a homicide rate of 3.5/100,000 while the smartest people in the room in gun-free New York City have a homicide rate of 6.3/100,000.
At $0.40-$1.40/round for .223, I'd at least like to try to hit the target. If someone really wants to make a lot of noise, Cabela's and Bass Pro sell a $20 hand crank for the 10/22 that turns it into a .22 Gatling Gun. Of sorts. It's completely legal, too, and at least .22 ammo is cheaper than .223.
I wonder if “Jim” is a real person or is he a composite like owebama’s old girlfriend?

Aw, c'mon, 43north! If not for imaginary friends, most Marxists wouldn't have any friends at all.
I saw R. Lee Ermey fire five rounds each from a pump shotgun and a semi-automatic shotgun on his TV show “Mailcall” and he did it faster with the pump.
While looking at weapons online, I ran across a Reising Model 50 .45 submachine gun for $5,295 here -

I believe the model 50 is a select fire.
There is a pretty decent article here on them, which reading between the lines explains why the arm may be less popular than better known machine guns and submachine guns. Popularity drives price in a limited market.
I don't remember being either terrified or exhilarated when I fired my M-16 in the Army. When I saw the author's name was "Andy" I didn't think much of him. Knowing now that "Andy" is a female, I think even less of her.
There is no permit needed to carry a weapon in public (called open carry) and no waiting period to purchase a gun. (Kentucky used to have a wait, also known as a cooling-off period to protect against impulsive acts of violence, but it was abolished recently,
Another gross inaccuracy. I am 52 yrs old I live in Kentucky and have been buying guns all of my life. We have not had any waiting period in my lifetime. Sadly last week I lost all of my guns in a boating accident.
