Glock Switches

[gregr]

I mean, maybe I have a bit of fudd in me, but I do see your point.

In principle, I'm actually kind of okay with banning or at least regulating to some degree full-auto weapons, mostly because they seem (IMHO) to give a disproportionate advantage to those who hold no respect for innocent lives (or are deliberately looking to take as many innocent lives as possible.)

HOWEVER, in practice it just seems silly. There's no way you're going to ban something that can be made easily with a legal firearm plus a single simple part, that can often be made by somebody in their basement, with the right tools (or even 3d-printed, depending on the weapon.) So why deprive law-abiding citizens of them?

If you have any brilliant ideas for keeping full auto glocks out of criminal hands, though, I'm all ears. I've seen two videos that I can think of in the past year of officers getting shot (one of them killed) with full auto glocks.

Ok with banning? You`re following the same leftie mindset that says no one can be trusted to be law-abiding, so you`re going to fight the winless battle by constraining the law-abiding to try to stop those who won`t obey the law in the first place.

I imagine it would go something like this...

 

[gregr]

I respect your right to believe as you do. I just don't happen to agree.

But here you are, throwing out a leftie talking point, about a meaningless what if scenario...

Is anyone concerned that they might be in a confrontation, or possibly firefight, with some Punk ass carrying a Glock 19 full auto? I sell guns for a living and I see a lot of younger guys (21 to 23) coming in looking for a Glock 17 or 19. Glock switches are remarkably easy to get and relatively cheap. Several companies make drum Mags that hold fifty rounds for Glocks. Add a Glock Switch and , well I'm sure you can see the possibilies.

Biggest problem I can see is that a full auto pistol is nearly uncontrollable without a lot of traing. Something most younger owners with little to no experience are not likely to have.
I don't want to sound like a FUDD but some things should not be so easy for the general public to have. I have no issue with owning a full auto weapon. IF you have the skills and traing to use it correctly but I don't feel that a 21 year old with no real handgun experience and no training with that sort of weapon being able to walk around with a full auto Glock.

For those of you who are Prolly gonna Flame me for this post. Yes they are illegal and getting caught with one would get you in prison but when did that ever stop anyone from doing something stupid.

And who pray tell decides what that level of training is? 99% of gun owners don't meet the level of training I find acceptable but I don't seek to deny them their rights because of it.

As to your question, no, I am no more concerned about this particular event than I am of any other deadly force encounter. That is, I am as concerned as I need to be while being highly trained and practiced and doing my best at risk avoidance. But then you know, sometimes crap just happens.

Wow this one is great I don’t have anything to add that hasn’t been said. Really glad to see most people are on the side of freedom in here.

I cannot control others. All I can do is be prepared. Situations like the one you describe are why I carry grenades.

No I'm not concerned about fighting against someone with a full auto handgun any more than I'm concerned about being shot by a random thug.

Just to be sure, could you upload a recording of yourself saying "Rascally rabbit"?

Training mandated by politicians is infringement 100%.

Seems like every thread on this forum these days turns political. WTF people, keep that junk in the right sub-thread.

I agree 100%, my question was rhetorical.

Unfortunately this is a discussion of policy and permission slips so that would be strictly political. Especially since op is talking restrictions.

They used to teach Boy Scouts shooting and Gun Safety.

I remember those days.......

Full auto Glocks reliebility is a hit and miss proposition at best compounded by the iffy reliability of a drum. It will not keep me up at night. As for making full auto illegal it has worked so well with drugs over the last several decades I'm sure it would be a winner and solve all our problems.

Everything "these days" IS political, and so again, it is you who is throwing out the leftie talking point. Don`t throw a hand grenade then act surprised when it explodes.

Huh? What are you talking about? Grenades? Dude, relax.

I just said I was tired of having politics in every single thread. And no, everything is not political.

everything is political due to serious over reach…… name one thing that doesn’t involve politics.

Sorry boss finger painting is regulated…… you can only use certain paints to finger paint, because others are deemed unsafe. Don’t get me started on hazardous disposal….

 

[cg21]

Finger painting.

Politicians regulations rules are intertwined in every daily activity. You can’t take a crap without a government regulation.
