Kansas City Mayor: We Can’t Be ‘Fully’ Safe if People ‘Are Freely Walking Around’ with ‘Even Just’ a ‘Classic Revolver’
Breitbart ^ | 16 Feb 2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 02/16/2024 6:35:54 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

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.”

“Full” safety is an unattainable, mayor. Although thug control would work a whole lot better than gun control.

Go ahead! Make your cities a gun free zone.
See how that turns out when the law abiding are disarmed and the criminals know it.

When the mayor of a major city says guns are bad though, you will notice he/she isn’t satisfied with their own city. They want to disarm the safer places too. Why is that???

I suggest that THREE dumbass mayors, Quinton Lucas, Eric Adams and Brandon Johnson get together and try to figure out the COMMON DENOMINATOR attributed to the CRIMINALS that are terrorizing their respective DEMOCRAT SHITHOLES.

YES BOO BOO it’s THEM!!!!!

You can’t be safe if criminals have guns. Law abiding legal citizens with guns makes the city safer.

A resident of,the us “we can’t be safe with any kansas city mayor that thinKS that they have a right to express their opinion freely!”

Of course we can be safe- an armed society is a polite society mayor! The cr8m8nals will ALWAYS have guns, and the only way to equalize thi gs is to arm the citizenry to fight back and NOT convict them when they do,fight back agaisnt thugs with guns.

Chicago, where it was near impossible to own guns, yet crime rates soared! Why? Because the vast majority of,citizens were unarmed because of that cities asinine antigen policies!

Mayor- don’t piss on us and tell us it’s raining! We know full well what the facts are and you are flat out wrong! Criminals want nothing more than for agenda based mayor’s like yourself to disarm the public, thus making it safer for them, the criminals that is, to terrorize unarmed law abiding citizens.

Your claim that people being allowed to carry is dangerous is a blatant lie- you know it, and we know it! If you are trying to disarm the law abiding populace, then you and your ilk sir are sid8ng with tyranny and terror, and are the enemies of common sense.

Oh... wait a minute.

Most likely referencing “Glock Switches”, I believe they went viral awhile back when “teens” discovered you could get them from china relatively easy. They replace the rear plate, and have the capability of converting the handgun to fire in a full-automatic fashion.

Glocks can be converted to full-auto fire with a device "switch" that can easily be found on line because it's marketed to airsoft guns. But it works perfectly on the real deal.

They're really popular in the 'hood where they're then outfitted with hi-cap stick and drum magazines. Of course, when blacks are caugth with these illegally modified weapons, the weapons are only confiscated.

If lily-white me had a Glock with a switch, I'd be charged with a federal felony and looking at 4-5 years in prison.

Acting civilized is out of the question and it’s unfair to even mention it.

My husband had never heard of glock switches either—I asked on FR what could make a little gun shoot a burst like that and was told “glock switch”, so looked it up.
