Quoted: roar of fully automatic weapons hasn’t been often heard on America’s streets since Congress largely outlawed them in 1934. So the author is saying it was COMMON for people to USE this type of device historically? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I shot a legit Glock machine pistol at one of those machine gun rental outfits. I didn't much care for it. Horribly inaccurate for me as it pulled off center really badly. Other than being a waste of expensive bullets, I can't see the need for one on a Glock. Tommy guns and full-auto AR-15s, yeah, that I can see. (Loved shooting the Thompson. Literally shot the center out of the target like those carnival air rifle games. Guy from the place mentioned "Well, that's definitely your gun there.") Needs forward grip or sbr style chassis |

Wait, what? Did they actually get the rate of fire right in an article? A 33rd mag in a Glock 18 last around 1.5s.
66 rounds in 1.5s if you dual wield 2 Glock 18s! |

Congress outlawed them in 1934, but they never went away or were in true ‘decreased’ capacity.
And, with the flooding of the inner cities, would, at this point, it be ‘common usage’, as in Bruen? |

They were designed for counter-assault/ counter-ambush for bodyguard types where initial volume of fire can make the difference between life and death and concealment is an issue. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That is pretty close to how some of the conversions work. Essentially an angled metal stud is added to the backplate. It depresses the trigger bar releasing the striker when the slide closes (as long as the trigger is held rearward). Glocks are very easy to convert. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Was waiting around for court one day not too long ago and a prosecutor was talking about a case and said that a full auto glock was taken off a suspect. He stated it wasn't an official one with the side switch and it didn't have the wish.com switch on the back. That after testing it, it was full auto only and there was no way to shoot semi auto. Someone had shoved a thin piece of metal next to the trigger bar or some such to make it keep firing. Sounded like he got confused with the coat hanger in the AR trick. But I don't know enough about glock switches or glocks for that matter to correct him. Glocks are very easy to convert. Interesting. Thanks for the info. |

I’m really surprised the chicoms haven’t flooded the US with these like they did with Glock switches. If it was stamped out of steel they could crank them out in the hundreds of thousands with little to no effort. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What is this S-shaped device that slides into guns that o have never heard of before? Most are 3d printed plastic pieces that sit around the rear lug and are depressed by the carrier when it closes. If the trigger is rearward it will depress the disconnector releasing the hammer and converting a standard AR to full auto. Some are made from twisted metal coat hangars. Takes a couple minutes to make once you understand the shape needed. |

The Swift is basically a piece of metal that hooks under the rear takedown lug and has a little peak that the BCG hits and pushes down in to the trigger pocket. But then the kids figured out how to print them and started calling them freedom coat hangers and yankee boogles and all sorts of funky stuff. They do need a M16 cut BCG not a lighter semi carrier |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Switches and new inexpensive machine guns are illegal, but criminals break the law, in most cases with the people that have these illegal devices and illegal machine guns it is illegal for them to have any gun at all, yet they illegally have a gun and double illegally have an illegal device and illegal machine gun,and illegally murder people, and illegally having possession of a stolen firearm, but instead of putting people away that break the law, instead of doing something about gang violence, about murder, instead of putting these people in jail and keeping these people in jail, the solution is to ban guns from law abiding people, the people that don’t have illegal guns, are not felons or gang members or receive stolen guns, or murder people, banning the gun that it is already illegal for them to have, but the only people that will abide by the law are the law abiding while making the law abiding unable to defend themselves and their families against the murderous felon / gang members with illegal guns and illegal machine guns. Fuck everybody that supports this and every agency and organization that empowers it. Fuck them all. That's how I feel and couldn't have said it better ?? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm honestly surprised they haven't tried to outlaw Glocks There’s no legal basis. The definition of a machine gun includes firearms “readily restored” not “readily converted.” If a Glock 17 was manufactured and sold as a semi, it doesn’t matter how easily it would hypothetically be to put a switch in it. It’s not a machine gun until you DO put a switch in it. A Glock 18 which WAS a machine gun, if ever converted to Semi, would still be a machine gun because it could be RESTORED to its former machine gun ability |

So, the author, FATF & law enforcement admit that laws don’t do anything to deter illegal activity, especially in the ghettohood rats.
I wonder why they don’t list the stats of where said giggleswitches were obtained and race breakdown…. No, actually, I don’t….

If you went to small town America where people are hard working and law abiding and dumped a truckload of free machine guns out on the lawn in the middle of town, a year later nobody will have used one in a crime. It's the dangerous people, not the guns. The left would rather disarm you than address the real problem, because it's an uncomfortable problem of culture and race, and that goes against everything they have been preaching for 100 years.
