Point your index finger at something.

Now, curl it back toward your palm.

Can you do that at least once every two seconds? If you can, you can fire ANY semiautomatic firearm like a mass murderer. It's just a mechanical system based on how fast you can flex your finger, not some automated death-dealing magical process.

Unless the plan is to ban all semiautomatic firearms, we need to be looking at something other than mechanical systems to mitigate this issue.
