It's illegal to modify a semi-automatic rifle. It's even illegal to modify sinus congestion medicine.

A modded console is not capable of killing anyone... (in theory)   ;)

           No, but in theory your robbing the license holder at digital gunpoint

I can pretty confidently say Eugene plays bootleg movies/music on his illegally modded Xbox.

See, even Malenko understands that people who want illegal work done on a product so they can use that product for illegal reasons.

Its not illegal to modify a semi automatic rifle, its illegal to make it full automatic. You can get, for example, a scope. You can modify sinus congestion medicine, say for example you mix it in with orange juice (or are you modding orange juice?lol). Those are just laughably TERRIBLE examples. Modify is being used far too loosely there.

Its also not illegal to get a fully auto rifle if it was manufactured before 1986.

now, with the dmca that is what they forgot to do, to set a good age limit on this stuff.
