    Wait are you telling me it is legal to construct and possess a fully automatic firearm without a class three license?

    No.

    A semi-auto? Yes.

    With your class III SOT? Sure, full auto.

    Or say, already own a firearm, and then construct a modification that makes it fall out of compliance with local laws by making it fully auto, having a magazine that is too large, or a bump stock or things like that?

    Bump stocks are legal again Mr. Outdated Info, but like I mentioned above, while manufacturing things you're allowed to own is something you're allowed to do, manufacturing something you're not allowed to own is perhaps unsurprisingly not allowed. Wtf are we doing here, really? You couldn't have figured this out?

    I am certain the situation is more complex than you seem to think, hence the semi-ironic disclaimer.

    I mean no not really, these wild claims are yours and yours alone.

    Cool, /wasn't replying to you or commenting on the situation generally/.

    Glad you felt the need to take my words out of context and then act as if I was being 'wild'.

    You are exactly the kind of person I /thought/ the person /I was actually replying to might be/, the kind of disingenuous, abusive, gaslighting, reckless asshole that gives less insane firearms enthusiasts a bad reputation.

    I/responded/to/you/,generally/.

    I didn't take them out of context, from your statement it is clear you read into the one you replied to and decided it meant he was implying that all other laws and restrictions are null and void simply because some other thing is legal. It's like if he said "you can actually legally put rat poison in peanut butter" in the context of killing rats in their attic and you say "oh yeah well what if you feed it to your neighbor's kid." Obviously the other relevant laws still apply, your comment is not needed at all.
