Can a 'bump stock' make a AR-15 fire full-auto like a machine gun? (Yes. And it's relatively cheap, pretty easy, and completely legal)

When a Las Vegas SWAT team breached Stephen Paddock's hideout on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, they found the gunman dead on the hotel room's beige carpet surrounded by more than a dozen rifles and what had to be nearly a thousand spent bullet cartridges. He killed 59 people and wounded more than 500 others.
At least two of the weapons were equipped with so-called bump stocks, attachments that allow a semi-automatic rifle to fire bullets almost as fast as a fully-automatic rifle. Legal, comparatively affordable, and now apparently deadly, these accessories are front and center in the gun-control debate.
What is bump-firing: A technique that uses the recoil of a semi-automatic firearm to shoot multiple rounds. The editors of Guns America describe the technique as holding "the gun in a loose way and allow it to rock back and forth against the trigger finger, which simulates automatic fire." As they note, as long as there have been semi-automatic guns—both pistols and rifles—people have been bump-firing them.
The accessory replaces the normal fixed stock with a sliding shoulder rest and a "trigger step." A shooter can achieve something close to automatic fire by "pulling apart" the rifle.
A bump-firing stock "allows you to shoot as fast as you want to", explains Jeremiah Cottle, inventor of the name brand Slide Fire stock. "You hold your finger on the trigger rest and push forward to fire the gun," Cottle said in 2011 interview, adding that, while not technically automatic, the device makes it possible to "shoot one round, two rounds, three rounds, 15 rounds or a full magazine."
Boy, that is Great!!!! "Shoot one round, 3 rounds, 15 rounds or a FULL MAGAZINE"!!!!!! Boy that is Wonderful don't you think!!!!
Don't you THINK?
