conversion switch - The War on Guns

Bait and Switch

Guns now deadlier due to tiny attachments made by 3-D printer [Watch]

They say that like it’s a bad thing…

And like the Founders didn’t consider “every terrible implement of the soldier” to be “the birthright of an American,” and “necessary to the security of a free State.”

See, here’s the thing– I know I can be trusted not to abuse my right to arms, and so can everyone I’m friends with.

So what do we do about those who can’t?

The answer certainly isn’t controlling you and me.

And the genie is out.

Bait and Switch

We’re all about patterns here and when I see the ATF put out three different exposes against local, local and then national, one in Tulsa, one in DC, and now Steve Dettelbach on a national network, NBC around how ineffectual the NFA is because of giggle switches or Glock switches, there’s a hidden motive, I’m telling you, something’s up. [Watch]

Good catch.

Thing is, the NFA has always been ineffective.

Still Up to Their Old Tricks

“…as opposed to only pulling the trigger once and having to reload and doing it again…” [Watch]

Leave it to NBC News to present that to a voting public that doesn’t know enough to think to question it.

Parroting the Narrative

It’s almost like they’re all working together to get SCOTUS to back down on undelegated legislation…

Double-Plus-Ungood

The devices, commonly called Glock switches or auto sears, are already illegal under the federal National Firearms Act. [More]

And now they’ll be even more illegal!

What anyone who’s proven he can’t be trusted with these is doing without a custodian is left unsaid.

We’re the Only Ones Hysterical Enough

“It turns a semi-automatic firearm into, essentially, a machine gun,” explained Estevan. “So, instead of one round being discharged from a firearm with the single pull of the trigger, when the switch is installed onto a firearm, you’re looking at 1,200 rounds with the single pull of the trigger within a minute.” [More]

Sounds like you need a massage there, SAC Estevan.

Did you tell them you’d need a magazine, what, 40 feet long…?

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
