Apparently, there's a rash of homemade "machine guns" fueling gun violence

It will probably end with martial law. International tensions are high. Both parties are at fault. Supremacy of federal law will be needed to restore order. Other members are correct in stating that we have an internal security problem caused by outsiders.

Supremacy of federal law isn't the issue. Part of the problem is the feds taking that shit WAY too far and exceeding their authority. Shift power back to the people of the various states in which they live. We've had a very nice list of things the feds are allowed to do for over 200 years. And most of what they do isn't on that list.

Glock switches have been a serious problem in Denver since COVID, they're all over the place.

If only gangbangers had them, the problem wouldn't be so bad, but they're finding them on paranoid schizophrenics and 12 year old kids.

Yes, let's get people worried about phantom guns instead of the fentanyl and illegal crossings at the southern border.

More criminals, more guns.

While I am sure the op has examples of how machine guns are bad, the simple truth is that it takes a bad guy to cause a problem with a machine gun.

This is all about blurring the between FA and SA. The left's latest push is that SA guns that can be easily converted to FA should be regulated like FA. And since Scalia couldn't keep his statist pie-hole shut, we have that 'machine gun' dicta from Heller that the left can use against us. I think the brace rules with their point system was a dry run at expanding it to all firearms and if you have so many points, you get restricred, and the states could just pick a point total and titrate it down.

the parlance at the counter is "do it bust?"

So, since I'm a clueless old fart - a question -
Are these "Glock switches" a mag-dump-with-one-trigger-pull thing, or are they semi-controllable? As in, stops shooting when you let off the trigger?

I don't own a Glock, never even held one, let alone fired one.

Green Zones, not martial law. It won't be walls and barriers, it'll be cameras and ai with discriminating entry/exit. It'll start in city centers. I bet we see it before the decade is out.

London has had this for years.
So do other major urban areas in EU. NYC has them, Denver too, along with the gunshot detectors.

People are too self absorbed to notice the light has turned red, let alone surveillance cameras.

I guess that Chicago is now suing Glock about the switch issue. It makes perfect sense that Glock is to blame, but the prescious little hood rats running around with third party switch kits are innocent.
