In this Bearing Arms article, Tom Knighton argues that political panic over “Glock switches” is being used to justify broader gun bans even as prosecutors allegedly fail to pursue cases against people caught with illegal conversion devices.
- Knighton says “Glock switches” are machine-gun conversion devices made by third parties, not by Glock itself.
- He argues that anti-gun activists and lawmakers are using the existence of these devices to attack Glock handguns and push bans on popular firearm models.
- The article points to a St. Louis case in which police reportedly found guns modified with auto-sear switches after detaining two people.
- According to the cited report, the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office declined to press charges, meaning the suspects were released.
- Knighton frames this as evidence of hypocrisy: officials claim these devices are an urgent public-safety crisis but allegedly do not prosecute offenders when they are caught.
- He argues that if authorities truly believed the devices posed the level of threat claimed in political rhetoric, they would prioritize prosecuting illegal possession and use.
- The piece contends that the real goal is not stopping criminals but building public support for lawsuits against Glock and bans on Glock-style pistols.
- Knighton concludes that the “hysteria” around Glock switches should not be taken seriously because the actions of some prosecutors do not match the alarmist rhetoric.
