"In recent years machine gun conversion devices---which can transform an ordinary pistol into an automatic weapon by allowing it to fire as many as 15 rounds in under two seconds---have proliferated across the country."

Well in NY they can only fire 10 in less than 2 seconds.

15 rounds in under two seconds? Jerry Miculek’s finger is a machine gun by that standard.

My single ten revolver can pump out 10 rounds in under two seconds. Not good for the gun, but eh.....
