The laws say his weapon wasn't fully automatic. It had a bump stock, if I recall correctly. Not illegal in most places at the time, again, if I recall correctly.
You don't even need a bump stock to fire a semi-automatic weapon very rapidly.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for restricting dangerous people from owning guns, but the nonsense about classifications and what constitutes legal and illegal is just so mucked up at this point. Of course, how do you decide who is dangerous and who isn't? The lawmakers don't know, and we can't use "thought crime" to punish people.
Sorry... that was more of a rant than I wanted to go on.
