No doubt the ATF will be all over this, right....

Police: Teen arrested in Aurora shooting had illegally modified handgun
Investigators found an auto switch that converted the semi-automatic handgun into a fully automatic weapon.

Full federal charges for illegal machine gun possession right?

or

Incorrect demographics with a member of a privileged class?

Well they should be, and I'd hope they learn something from the kid about where the switches are coming from.

Thanks for the link. I heard snippets of this over the weekend but no real information. Ironically, this article doesn't shed much more light. The article is more about the gun than the shooter. True to the narrative, it was the gun that did it. Nowhere does the author of the article inform the audience that everything mentioned is already heavily controlled by law.

@.455_Hunter, I'll pass on that bet....

Well they should be, and I'd hope they learn something from the kid about where the switches are coming from.

I would however bet the shooter was already known as a gang associate to local LEO/gang unit personnel and they already know where the gun/switch came from. It's possible this yoot had been in the grooming process for such an event for a couple years.

'I feel terrified': Inventor of 'Glock switch' technology says he regrets creation

Just saw this one in my feed this morning. Coincidence? Or election year?

Someone needs to ban those Glocks. Not only do they pass right through metal detectors, now they can be turned into fully automatic machine guns in 15 seconds!

Can't anyone save us?

Joe? Gavin? Jared?

I found this piece of frightening news as well-

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-missouri-ohio

Series of US mass shootings brings weekend of death and mayhem
One dead and 34 wounded as incidents in New York, Alabama, Missouri and Ohio swell 2024 mass shooting tally

That doesn't even count the Chicago War Zone.

Chicago shootings: 31 shot, 8 fatally, in weekend gun violence across city

I did a bit of research and most of the victims were youths, teens or young men. The mayhem occurred in less affluent neighborhoods, often in the wee hours of the morning.

I know I am preaching to the choir here but I think many, many more laws are needed to keep these vile guns from corrupting our innocent children.

Guns are keeping our blameless youths from making sensible, moral decisions about their lives.

I am certain that if there were no guns radiating evil, these boys would all choose to pursue the noble paths of service and productivity they were destined for.

Never mind the lack of positive father figures or other role models. Or the constant reinforcement of negative stereotypes from almost every source- pop culture, politicians, clergy or "community organizers".

The problem is, and always has been, guns.

I'm familiar with 3 such arrests, including a crazy guy who broke into Children's Hospital after hours and assaulted a security guard.

I do not even think they were charged with a machinegun or hi cap mag... none were convicted of either charge.

But put the wrong accessory on an AR pistol and they'll definitely charge YOU.

[rondog]

Hmm, maybe I need one o' them Glock pistolas after all.....

Weird.

It?s almost like people willing to kill or maim another human being do so with blatant disregard to the law.

Where there are no consequences.



There are no deterrents.
