Gun Control Laws And Opposition

Most Glock chips in Mobile are homemade on 3D printers​

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Most of the machine gun conversion devices showing up on city streets in recent months have been homemade, according to the top federal prosecutor in southern Alabama.

Those devices – known as Glock switches, or chips – can transform semi-automatic weapons into fully automatic guns capable of firing many rounds with one pull of the trigger. The problem, as demonstrated by firearms experts in Mobile in May, is that the altered guns are hard to control.

Nationally, according to the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Glock chips are coming from China, often across the Mexico border. But the acting U.S. attorney in Mobile, Sean Costello, told FOX10 News that the weapons seized in Mobile seem to be more home grown.

“Only a couple of them have been machine manufactured,” he said. “But the vast majority of them are actually 3D printed. So as far as what the sources of those are, we’re still looking into it, but it appears that at least some of them are being manufactured locally.”



How long until 3d printers get firmware or software updates so you cannot print items like this

like you cannot scan US and certain Foreign Currencies

I see those "chips" for sale for $220. They only work on that specific handgun; leave it to the lefty media to make it sound like it works on all semi-auto handguns.

How the eff did a sear interrupter get to be called a "chip"??

Ignorant, ####bag reporters.

I think the gummint should be encouraging all these gang bangers to "chip their Glocks". None of 'em can shoot worth spit to begin with...making their handgun that much less controllable can only further improve that situation for their intended "targets". They'll be sprayin' but not prayin'.

There's a line in a Townes Van Zandt song (or Willy Nelson cover), Pancho and Lefty that covers this.
Pancho was a bandit boy
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel

I like how they think they can legislate what's permissible on Federal property. Also requiring me as a private property owner to post signs. Which of course is a wedge to allow civil suits against property owners if an armed citizen takes action on their property.

Newtown Gun Controllers: There Is No Such Thing as ‘Constitutional Carry’​

Newtown Action Alliance followed the tweet with another, asking gun controllers to urge Florida’s legislature to oppose the constitutional carry bill, suggesting the bill “will increase FL homicide and violence crime.”

On December 29, 2022, the Maine Wire noted that crime fell in Maine after the state abolished its concealed carry permit requirement in 2015.

FBI data shows violent crime beginning a decline in 2016 that continued through 2020.

Marylanders had better get ready, it's going to be a fight to keep any 2nd. Amendment rights in this State with the Democrat Turkey's we have running Annapolis.

Shew...they sure made that crap up out of thin air.

"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785

The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824

On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823

Yes, but Tommy J. was an unapologetic slave owner and rapist, so who cares what he thought and said.

Guns Groups Fire Back at Biden's Call for a Ban on 'Assault Weapons'​

“Since the Bruen decision, gun control laws are feeling the heat across the country, and GOF and Second Amendment advocates are making clear that these tyrannical abuses will be brought down in the courts if necessary. As we’ve been saying since the decision—fall in line, or we will make you,” Sam Paredes said on behalf of the board of the Gun Owners Foundation.

The National Rifle Association posted a video in response to Biden’s claims. In the video, mothers pointed out that when “assault weapons” were banned from 1994 to 2004, murder rates went up over 19 percent. And, the majority of crimes were not committed with a semi-automatic rifle.

“We aren’t terrorists. We aren’t the enemy. We’re the good guys,” the women said in the video.

“They’re not a criminal's weapon of choice,” they explained. “The facts are on our side. Guns save lives.”
