Alabama Republicans are showing that no party can be trusted to protect gun rights, as the state has now banned so-called “Glock switches.”
Bullet Points: While federal law already bans the devices that gun grabbers say make Glocks “automatic” weapons, some states are doing their own state laws banning the devices.
- Alabama became the 26th state to outlaw the devices.
- The Senate vote was 28-0, with six lawmakers absent. The Alabama House passed the bill 77 to 23.
- Other “red” states with a trifecta Republican control to ban the devices are: Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa.
- Idaho has made no such proposal to date.
Gun Owner Takeaway: As a reminder, all gun control is unconstitutional. Machine guns should be legal to produce and purchase without government intervention.
Supporting the unconstitutional federal law by states does not make it okay. If Idaho lawmakers attempt to pass a similar ban, the ISAA will fight it with everything we have.
