Update: what seems to be happening is not bump firing, custom triggers or purpose-built automatic firearms but auto-sears. Devices to give a standard semi-automatic pistol a full-auto mode. They're illegal but surprise, that doesn't seem to deter gang members.

Did you properly post signs in the city public spaces that these were not allowed? If not then how would they know not to do that?
