How are they substantively different, counselor?

One's trigger is functioned only once, the other's trigger functions
for every round fired.

Nope. Same single function.

Literally not. The firing mechanism inside the gun requires the
trigger go through its full cycle of function (depressed, released,
and reset) for every round fired in a semi-auto rifle. It's only
activated once for an entire burst in a machine gun.

In both machine gun and bump-stock, the trigger cycle "consults" the
shooter's finger during each cycle.  If there's pressure it fires, if
not it stops.  For the shooter the guns are *functionally* identical.

Which might be relevant if the NFA regulated firearms in any way, shape,
or form based on what it's like for the shooter. It does not therefore
it is not.

You think "single function of the trigger" doesn't entail the shooter's
experience of it?

No, it doesn't.

You mean, "Yes I do."

You keep telling me what I mean, but I assure you, Kreskin, that if I
mean something I write it. If it's not in what I've written, it's not
what I mean.

I think trying to get moviePig to comprehend that anyone would ever say
exactly what he means, in clear and concise language, is beyond his
powers of comprehension.
