you’re moving the goal posts now. I never said anything about redefining anything.

You are naive. You fail to understand how these things work.

To ban (or control for compliance) a class of weapons through regulatory oversight the ATF will need to REDEFINE its working definition of "full-auto" to encompass a new class of enhanced semi-autos. Or, the Congress, if it passes a statute to do so, will then need to do the same.

If that proves too difficult, they might try to ban "firearm accessories which alter function". That would be a huge new classification that will no doubt permit excessive overreach.

Failure to comply in one small part, whether intentional or not, can result in a huge fine, a prison sentence, or both.

When you or anyone suggests making a "trade" with the state, you are permitting them to "move the goal posts". Give them an inch and they will take a mile.

No. Don't go there.
