On Thursday’s broadcast of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas (D) said that if you don’t have metal detectors, “then how can we ever fully be safe in a city, a state, and, perhaps, a country where we know that people are freely walking around with AR-15s, with modified handguns with switches, with any number of issues, or frankly, even just your old classic revolver?” And “If we know that one can act with impunity with that, then it’s hard to say we’ll ever be fully as safe as I think we’d like to idealize ourselves to be.”

Why are they walking around at all? Would he be less outraged if they had used hammers or swords? Keep illegals out. Keep criminals in jail.
The “switch” defeats the sear on a Glock. It causes a slam fire situation once the trigger is depressed. Think instant mag dump.
Its can be as dangerous to the user as the intended target. The muzzle jumps around but can be controled. Just watch some YT videos.

“If we know that one can act with impunity with that, then it’s hard to say we’ll ever be fully as safe as I think we’d like to idealize ourselves to be.”
Apparently he has retained Kamala Harris as his speech writer...
Another idiot mayor..... Crack down on gangs and crime, idiot.
HMMMMM, i could change that to something really offensive and get banned from FR......no, I’ll keep it to myself.
Hey, jackwad, those are your own thugs pulling that crap.
We need a culture change, not a change to the 2A.
We need kid control, not gun control.
You stupid Democrats are the ones who created these problems. As usual, it falls to us to try to fix what you idiots have broken.
More stupid, draconian Democrat policies won’t fix anything; they always just make things worse.
I was at "The Gun Shop" in Idaho Falls last Saturday. They have a case with multiple knives labeled "INL Approved". That means an employee of Idaho National Labs can possess that knife on the INL grounds. All very short blades. My own employer has a "weapons" policy that is far less specific. Fortunately, I work from my home office, so I don't have to be concerned about what is permissible "at the office".
The mosquito hawk that got into my house last night and met its demise at the paw of my Siamese cat is smarter than the Mayor of Kansas City.
WE can’t be safe while driving with other cars on the road.
I have seen piles of canine waste that were smarter than th mayorof KC Mo
The switches are already illegal I thought, but people can print them on the 3D printers and they are manufactured in China and sold on the black market—criminals can get them for about 20 dollars in the US.
Glock switches are a machine gun conversion device, and, as such, are illegal if possessed with intent to make a machine gun (full auto Glock).
Technically it converts them to SLAM FIRE. Very dangerous as you are still firing after you remove your finger from the trigger.
It’s a handgun converted to full auto with a conversion device.
It means they don’t know anything about firearms because they they have their own armed security protecting them.
The government insiders all have tax paid armed security protection. And the same exact people want you to have ZERO protection.
Per the mayor, there were 800 members of LE there for the parade.
WTH were they doing?!
Including the disarming of the mayors bodyguards.
NPC’s who watch CNN.
At least 10% of population have IQ<85. The US military cannot recuit such since they would be little more than cannon fodder.
They gotta vote for somebody. So, they are ~1/3rd of the Democrat’s base.
Certain models of Glock can be modified to run full auto by insertion of an easily machined piece of aluminum (aka "switch").
