The (anti)Gun Guys at it again

To properly terrorize their audience, they post video of A Magpul Industries guy demonstrating an invention, a prototype. It looks like a large billfold, but unfolds into a shoulder-stocked full auto Glock.

They add "all the company would have to do to legally sell the weapon is convert it from a fully automatic machine gun into a semi-automatic assault rifle..." No mention that it would then be a short-barreled rifle, within the scope of the National Firearms Act, meaning to buy one you have to secure BATF approval, after submission of photo, fingerprints, the tax, and an endorsement from the chief of your local law enforcement agency or chief prosecutor.

Hat tip to reader Josh Berger...
