14. "Did you? He couldn't control his gun."

THAT is the fucking problem and the point of using these switches. They "can't control" a weapon modified with them and they don't give a fuck about that. When they spray bullets "at their target", they hope to get him/her and don't give a shit if anyone else is in the area and becomes collateral damage.

These aren't military sharp-shooters. They are on a mission to get their target. There were at 3 shooters on that porch with weapons in that one video firing at some unknown other shooters across the street. The earlier video was a different incident in a park as hundreds of people were packing up from Memorial Day bbqs, etc., where there were similar "collateral victims" from other shooters.

You must live in the boonies and aren't aware of city life. Because of the efforts under Biden, these types of retaliation shootings have dropped (a lot of intervention counseling is going on). But the damage that just one of these guns can do to innocent bystanders or even people literally in their homes on the sofa or in a bedroom, when a stray bullet pierces the walls and hits them, needs to be underscored.

Any weapon that lets you add these types of mods needs to be banned.
