There are rifles that can work like machine guns if a pin is pulled. It’s stupid to do it, however. Better to aim each shot most of the time and also better suppression fire to cook them off at a slower pace.

What rifles. You can’t do that with an AR-15 by simply ‘removing a pin’ to my knowledge.

What rifles do that? I challenge you to find a single semi-automatic that does that.

“There are rifles that can work like machine guns if a pin is pulled.”

Uh, no.

The only legal ones that (or similar trivial modification) might work for result in an uncontrolled complete mag dump: pull trigger, keeps firing until empty - extremely stupid dangerous.

Any guns which sanely handle what you claim are illegal.

And what the idiot in the lead post claims amounts to converting an M1903 bolt action rifle with fixed magazine, to a detachable magazine M16 (invented half a century later) machine gun, by merely pulling a pin. That’s stupid. The conversion is absurd; seriously, it’s easier to convert a VW Bug to a machine gun.
