since 1986, automatic weapons are illegal in this country. yet these devices allow them to turn legal weapons into illegal weapons that can be used for massacres like the one we saw this past e gun policy. the nra says how did the atf do it? this was their reckoning during the obama administration. it is a guideline. let them do itment don t make it a law. what do you think of that? well, the problem is that the atf ruled that under the law as passed, these devices are legal. they were doing their regulatory job of interpreting existing law. if that s their interpretation, obviously we need to change the law. so that s why it has to be legalment all right. so then that s right.
