Question: How do people with illegal full auto weapons get caught? For the purpose of this discussion assume we're discussing an illegal mod and not just an unregistered manufactured auto as this would likely have a select fire switch that might raise questions and nullify this one.
Example: Police pull over man with AR in his car. A lot of the time they don't even touch the gun, and when they do it pretty much never goes further than running the SN. So lets say the run the guys license, no warrants/non felon. They run the SN and the gun is not stolen. Lets also assume that the gun doesn't have a selector switch that raises questions. At this point I don't think it is plausible that the cop is gonna load up the gun and let a few go into the median to ensure that it is only firing one round per pull of the trigger.
That's basically it, how do people get caught in these situations? I feel like I've heard about way more people being busted for unregistered SBSs than unregistered autos, but I don't know whether this is a function of the ease of the modification or a function of the difficulty of enforcement. The same question for the same reasons could essentially be applied to 922r compliance but we'll save that for another day.
