That's exactly it.

Gun laws are fun and strange. An example.
You can do the same thing by sticking your thumb through the trigger guard and hooking it into a belt loop on your pants.
It depends. That mechanism requires a single trigger pull. I'm trying to imagine your method and I keep picturing a moving finger, which wouldn't violate it at all.

kitten licks plastic. We have tried to suggest this is not a good thing, but after 4 years have really given up now. She doesn't eat it or anything, just sits there for ages licking.

You use your other hand to pull the rifle forward, keeping your forearm locked. It pulls the trigger against your thumb, fires, gives just enough recoil for the trigger to be released before your other hand pulls the rifle forward, repeating the process. I thought it was called "belt looping", and I'd seen a few youtube videos but I can't find any at the moment.

My cat likes ripping plastic bags to shreds. I'm paranoid about her swallowing the pieces, so I take them away from her.

Toby bites hard plastic things, like cell phones with plastic cases, plastic cups, toothbrush handles. Not really a hard bite either, just sort of mouthing it. It's very strange.

She is also fascinated with sweet wrappers, or small bits of paper (bus tickets, etc) in general.
People always think she is going for their food, but no, she just wants the shiny crinkly scrap of plastic.

"We have a saying in Hebrew that it's much easier to look for a lost key under the light, than to look for the key where you actually lost it, because it's dark over there. That's exactly how (North American airport security officials) act," Sela said. "You can easily do what we do. You don't have to replace anything. You have to add just a little bit — technology, training. But you have to completely change the way you go about doing airport security. And that is something that the bureaucrats have a problem with. They are very well enclosed in their own concept."
And rather than fear, he suggests that outrage would be a far more powerful spur to provoking that change.
"Do you know why Israelis are so calm? We have brutal terror attacks on our civilians and still, life in Israel is pretty good. The reason is that people trust their defence forces, their police, their response teams and the security agencies. They know they're doing a good job. You can't say the same thing about Americans and Canadians. They don't trust anybody," Sela said. "But they say, 'So far, so good'. Then if something happens, all hell breaks loose and you've spent eight hours in an airport. Which is ridiculous. Not justifiable
"But, what can you do? Americans and Canadians are nice people and they will do anything because they were told to do so and because they don't know any different."
I dunno if I'd take the isrealies ques on security. At least not harbor security...

Oh man. Cheese is just lovely. So lovely. The loveliest.
Then it probably was you. cheese.
If ever you come to Seattle we can go to the different cheese shops and then talk about metal whilst nomming.
If I'm ever in the area I'll drop you a line!
I cannot resist good company or good cheese.
:oops: I dunno about the former, but I can certainly help you find the latter. I know of three good places to find cheese within easy walking distance of downtown.

Can you imagine their security here in the states? the number of lawsuits for profiling, and God forbid, people who can't make eye contact due to social or cognitive problems, they'd be getting picked up right and left and screaming ADA all the way to the ACLU.

The rule in this case is for mechanical devices that cause multiple rounds to be fired with a single trigger pull of the finger. What you're describing isn't considered a mechanical device, and the ATF considers bump firing via recoil like that to be multiple trigger pulls. And it's grounds to be kicked off every range I've ever been on.

Well it also overlooks the size and cultural break down of our country. I mean a one size fits all security arrangement is impossible in the US, its one of the problems with the TSA to begin with.

They're totally right about using intelligence and threat analysis instead of backscatter gadgets and confiscating toothpaste, though.
I tend to think it is because the Israelis have long since come to the realisation that security is a mitigation, and not a prevention exercise. I don't think the US has really come to grips with the notion that terrorist attacks are going to happen whatever you do.

No. He had cheese when he was here for PAX. I took him to a couple fancy cheese shops, in fact. Normally he's in the barren cheese wasteland of Alaska, so he's jonesing for a little good curdled milk.

I know, I was just pointing out that you don't even need a piece of string to do it. Also, that piece of string operates basically on the same principle, the trigger is still being pulled multiple times, it's just being pulled by the action and not a finger.

Yeah, that's very likely to be a big part of it too. TSA is looking for some 100% certain method, but they're still just going after symptoms by hunting explosive liquids and stuff.

Do your local places offer any small hunk type of deals? One that I go to offers the hunks which are left over from tastings at about $2 each, makes a nice lunch with fruit and some bread.

It's the mechanical aspect that's the issue. Part of it is how you define what makes an automatic weapon automatic. You can achieve the same effect from a Gatling gun but it also gets an odd exemption. Like I said, gun laws are strange.

I think in general Israelis take a more healthy look at being in danger from terrorism than most Americans. They have had a lot longer to work on it and sometimes they over react like mad but I think the standard Saul on the street is better at coping that your average Joe in the US.
