That is incorrect. Pistol grips do nothing to facilitate the conversion of a weapon from semi-auto to full-auto.

ATF obtained their search warrant on the basis of AR15 rifles possibly being modified to turn them effectively into M16 fully-automatic assault rifles. The WACO standoff began when people in the compound fired on ATF agents who came to serve the search warrant and conduct the search.
If such conversions were carried out, pistol grips had nothing to do with them.

As I noted above, pistol grips do nothing to facilitate the conversion of a weapon from semi-auto to full-auto.

Whether it is sick to point out facts is a matter of opinion.
However, you cannot provide any examples of me ever parading my opinions as fact.
