Well, yes, he probably modified a semi automatic weapon into an automatic weapon.  But I want to know how he did that.  Where did he get the parts?  Who sold him the parts?  How easy is it to do this?  How many other people have done this? 

I'm not asking for any new gun control, because it is already illegal to own an automatic weapon.

I know it's very easy. In many cases you don't even need special parts to make the modifications and it can be done at home with everyday tools. Personally, I don't know anyone who does it, because they don't wanna go to federal prison and they have no reason to lower the value of the guns. I would think that only someone who is up to no good, would want to modify a firearm into an automatic. Either that, or some stupid kid who isn't thinking about the consequences and just wants to show off. There's probably "how to" videos on Youtube giving step by step instructions of doing the conversions.
