    She’s basically saying it’s irrelevant that one trigger pull equals one bullet fired. That has nothing to do with “being a machine gun”. That is just how semi auto guns work.

    How would you outlaw this? You’d have to outlaw belt loops too because functionally they do the same thing.

    Her argument is invalid. A goose walks like a duck and flaps like a duck and looks like a duck but it’s not a fucking duck.

    The idea that accessories like a pistol grip and stock choice and flash suppressor “make a gun into a machine gun” despite one bullet per trigger pull is simply not true and disingenuous.

    Sotomayor should be ashamed. She’s saying a dog is a duck if you glue on wings and webbed feet.
