If it effectively mimics full auto...that's what people will see. All the anti's need to do is show a video of someone doing this, with the audio nice and loud, and the general public's reaction will be visceral. I can practically hear Leslie Stahl asking someone, "Why would someone need this?" as they show the smoking barrel on the scary black gun.

It's a media culture we live in, like it or not. The "optics" game cuts both ways. And this one won't look good to most people. And there are MUCH better battles to fight.

Better to negotiate it away and be reasonable by our OWN standard...than be forced into the Left's definition, having wasted an opportunity to fight on something which really doesn't matter.

See the Left knows this. They know that most of us don't use or care about something like this. So they want us to be in the awkward position of feeling like we have to defend something difficult merely to keep from losing ground.
