i.e. whether or not there are semiautomatics that can be converted easily to controllable full-auto; the AW ban has nothing to do with conversion to automatic or the ease thereof.

Firearms that are presently available in post-ban or ban-compliant form have exactly the same mechanisms as their pre-ban or "banned" versions. The AWB did nothing to make illegal full-auto conversions any more difficult to accomplish. Its expiration will not make illegal machineguns any easier to make or to acquire.
