Yes, I am an NRA member.

While there are some gun owners who think the NRA compromises too much, I think they are the best lobbying tool we have to defend the 2nd.

As to the NRA and the AWB, they are working to defeat renewal, so yes, I recommend joining and TELLING them that is the reason you are joining.

And is it hard to convert an AR15 to full auto?

Well, yes and no.

The proper way is to replace the appropriate parts which make the rifle a select fire weapon (this means the gun can be fired in semi-automatic or automatic mode by the flip of the selector lever).

This is somewhat hard to do and requires some knowledge as well as possibly some precision machining.

The cheater's way is to use a drop in auto sear or DAS. This is a little hunk of machined metal that, when dropped in the trigger group, makes the gun fire full auto when the trigger is pulled. Taking the DAS out returns the gun to semi-auto fire.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE APPLIED FOR A CLASS 3 LICENSE AND HAVE THE PROPER TAX STAMP, BOTH OF THESE MODIFICATIONS WILL WIN YOU A TRIP TO CLUB FED.

Even ONE M16 part in an AR15 means you have a FULLY AUTOMATIC WEAPON (to the ATF) even if it isn't actually automatic.

As to a DAS, it is also considered a fully automatic weapon ALL BY ITSELF. DAS's are heavily regulated and also need a tax stamp from the ATF.
