Can we get a copy of that to Loretta Weinberg and her friends?

I particularly found it troubling that it could be easily disabled, which is something I've always suspected.

That's not surprising in the least. 

I do like how the dude is trolling at the end talking about electric motors. He want's a sample that is readily convertible to a machine gun. Which is going to be an inherent problem for the technology. Because there's realy only two choices. The electronics interrupt the mechanical system like the armatix one does in which case it is as easily defeated as a magazine safety or similar, or the electronics fire the gun. Which means you just replace the signal from the trigger with something you whipped up yourself and you have a happy switch.
