Police said Baker was armed with a pistol and approached the victim, who had a gun in a holster on his hip underneath his shirt.

Washington -- In New Mexico, police and prosecutors backed an effort to outlaw devices that convert pistols into machine guns. In Alabama, the governor made it a priority. Lawmakers in both states - one led by Democrats, the other by Republicans - responded this year with new laws making so-called Glock switches illegal. At least half of US states now have similar laws prohibiting the possession of such devices, a list that has grown over the past decade as law enforcement officers have found more of the tiny yet powerful devices attached to guns. States are mimicking federal law, which...

The state and the city of Baltimore sued gun maker Glock on Wednesday for its failure to stop the rising trend of its handguns being modified into machine-gun-like weapons used in violent crimes.

CHICAGO — A state police investigation of an expressway shooting culminated in a high-speed chase and the seizure of two machine guns, officials say. But, so far, the man they’re accusing of possessing those guns and driving the highway shooter’s car is not charged with firing any shots. The shooting occurred around 11:10 p.m. on Friday, January 31, on the inbound Dan Ryan Expressway near 47th Street, according to an Illinois State Police statement. No injuries were reported, but investigators identified the suspect’s vehicle and entered its information into a law enforcement database. The next day, a license plate reader...

Vice President Kamala Harris made waves on the campaign trail when she announced she and running mate Tim Walz were both gun owners in an attempt to paint the Democratic ticket as friendlier toward the Second Amendment. But some women who own guns told Fox News Digital they aren't buying it. "When Kamala Harris started talking about owning a Glock, I felt nothing," said Amara Barnes, founder of Women Gun Owners Association of America. "We all realize that it's pandering and virtue signaling to the right, and she's hoping that we're too dumb not to realize that she is completely...

---See? Your guns are safe. Except, Glocks are designated as "unsafe weapons" under California law, and if we aren't mistaken, Washington DC law also: "Note that California law classifies ALL Glocks as 'unsafe handguns' because they do not have a compliant chamber load indicator, lack a magazine disconnect mechanism, and until our lawsuit caused California to repeal the requirement, of course lacked microstamping,"

Kamala Harris surprised a lot of people when she claimed during her debate with Donald Trump that she is a gun owner. People immediately began wondering what type of gun she owns and how long she has had it. Amazingly, she was asked about this during her awful appearance on 60 Minutes. Harris claimed that she owns a ‘Glock’ and that she has fired it during visits to the gun range. Would you be shocked to learn that Harris wanted to ban the gun she now says she owns? The Federalist Reports: Vice President Kamala Harris has in recent weeks...

Authorities on Sunday identified the man who opened fire at a splash pad in suburban Detroit before taking his own life, but his motives remained unknown as investigators worked to determine if he left behind any hint of his plans. Oakland County Sheriff’s spokesperson Stephen Huber said the shooter was 42-year-old Michael William Nash of Shelby Township. Sheriff Mike Bouchard said Saturday evening that the gunman had no prior criminal history but apparently suffered privately from what the sheriff called “mental health challenges.” “It’s our understanding that he was undergoing some mental health challenges, but no one that we know...

Never in human history has a government disarmed a people to ensure greater individual liberty and public safety. No one really knows how many Americans regularly carry handguns, concealed or openly. The number of concealed carry licenses doesn’t tell the tale, particularly since 29 states are now “constitutional carry states.” Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Americans need no license to carry concealed weapons in those states. As I recently noted here at AT, some 36 states allow open carry. Graphic: Glock 43X, Author: We do know that April was the 57th consecutive month of more than one million gun sales....

Yesterday, anti-gun New York legislators introduced a bill designed to COMPLETELY ban the sale of Glock handguns and other semi-automatic pistols.Their bill, S. 9225, comes under the guise that Glocks, and other semi-automatic “convertible pistols,” can be easily turned into machine-guns through the installation or attachment of a “pistol converter,” more commonly known as a “Glock switch.”New York state lawmakers are intentionally targeting a major firearms manufacturer and banning the sale of their product because criminals, who don’t obey the law in the first place, could illegally acquire handguns and then illegally alter them further.Under federal law, machine guns are...

Thirteen Democrat Attorneys General wrote a letter to renowned gun maker Glock, noting Chicago’s lawsuit against the company and expressing concern over “machine-gun Glocks.” Minnesota’s Islamist/Communist Attorney General Keith Ellison is now “investigating” and will almost certain sue several auto makers because his black constituents find their cars “easy to steal.” He’s not prosecuting car thieves; he wants to sue car makers for marketing entirely legal products, for “tempting” them to do what they would do regardless. Ellison doesn’t have anything on Chicago and thirteen other blue state attorneys general. They’re threatening to sue iconic gun maker Glock because the...

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago announced a first-of-its-kind lawsuit Tuesday against Glock, the manufacturer of some of the most popular handguns in the U.S., alleging Glock is facilitating the proliferation of illegal machine guns in the city, a news release from the mayor's office said.

The suit is the first to use Illinois' new Firearms...
