I can remember when our range officers warned us not to snip that little strip of plastic in the Steyr AUG trigger assembly...or else.

(Hell, I wasn't even a fan of the three round burst. )

Someone here has said that we are all only one bad decision away from ruining our lives. Rabbiting with a full baggy of dark sears likely qualifies.

So technically anyone who claimed you can buy a machine gun from the internet was correct. They just stop a bit short of completing the story. Which ends with the buyer being tracked down and thrown in prison.

ATF is not the only ones working these. ICE/HSI is as well, in conjunction with CBP since they are all coming out of China.

This has been going on for a year or more via wish.com and many of these are being recovered in other crimes.

That's at least two bad decisions, likely several more than that. Just sayin'.

I'd ask where on the internet you can find these, simply to establish that it ain't quite as simple as going to Amazon, but I don't want my motives to be misconstrued, so never mind...

Wish.com, many of the direct from China shipping sites like it.

Oh man, now I can hear Governor Jabba da Hut calling for a ban on Glocks in Illinois. He'd be better off though if he banned pizza. he's had enough.

You could find them on Ebay as "airsoft accessories".
