It is also illegal to murder someone. The law is there.

So, is it illegaler to murder someone with a converted full auto weapon? The criminals must be shaking in their boots over that one. Must be why so few cases of that have surfaced. At least here in the US, anyway.

And, thank god John Moses Browning is no longer with us. He converted a lever action into full auto once.
