Grandma Ivey is a lifelong Democrat that only switched parties because it was the only way to be electorally viable. She was horrible during COVID and she is horrible on the 2A

No one goes after those illegally in possession and use of guns for criminal purposes. Only legal owners. R and Ds always have the solution bass-ackwards.

They probably meant light switches. Why the heck do they want to ban their public safety bills?

" In wake of mass shootings, Alabama lawmakers eye ban on Glock switches and public safety bills"

Glock switches have always been illegal, and why are they banning "public safety bills"?

(What a STUPIDLY written headline!)

Alabama had murders even back in the early 1960s. the weapon of choice was the .22 Saturday Night Special revolver and the zinc framed .25 cal pistol.

I remember several old C&W songs back then..”And as they pulled the shades down one by one, I put my binoculars down and bought me a gun....”

“I slipped in a pawn shop and bought me a twenty two...”

We don’t have a gun problem. We have a behavior problem.

“Glock switches are already illegal.”

Yeah but now they’ll be Double Illegal, to be enforced by the Department of Redundancy Department!
Dean Wormer would be proud!

When a prosecutor in Democrat Chicago can throw out charges under the term "mutual combat", they're being very clear that this is about attacking our inalienable rights and not about enforcing the law.

It's a very simple question - how many people arrested for firing a Glock with a switch haven't been charged or have been released without serving their term?

Quick, somebody send these jugheads a copy of Federal Law, 26 USC § 5845(b) before they make themselves look like a bunch if back sticks hicks. It’s illegal to have a switch on your gun and it also illegal for you to possess one. You can’t have too many laws.

10 years and 250k fines for violation of NFA act. Maybe they want state law in case feds don’t want to charge the dindus and illegals.

isn’t it about time for the ferel liars, oops...i meant lawyers to learn and understand exactly what “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” means? there is absolutely NO ambiguity in the 2A, not to mention it clearly points out one overarching command...”The ONLY restriction written into the Second Amendment is a restriction on legislating restrictions” L.Star.
