I’ve been telling you for years that what happens in one state will leech its way to another, and I told you a few months ago about the Glock ban bill in California. Well, it’s spreading. They’re coming after our Glocks guys and gals and I’m not kidding. New York lawmakers are once again using fear and misinformation to push legislation that could end up banning one of the most popular and trusted pistols in America. And folks, if they succeed there, you better believe that your state might be next. Welcome back to Guns and Gadgets, your source for Second Amendment news, delivered daily.

All right, New York State Senator Zell Noor Mairi is leading the latest anti-gun charge with a bill that could effectively ban certain Glock pistols from being sold or manufactured in New York. Not because of anything wrong with the gun itself, but because criminals might illegally modify them with so-called Glock switches. Let me say that again, instead of punishing criminals, they’re targeting you, the law-abiding gun owner, and the company that manufactures and sells these firearms. If this sounds like blaming the car manufacturer for a DUI, that’s because it is. Mairi’s bill is built around fear, calling these firearms convertible, just because criminals are illegally modifying them with devices that are already banned by federal law.

The logic? If a bad actor can break the law, let’s just ban the tool. Oh, did you catch the new term the anti-gunners created? Convertible firearms. Always with the fake terms to pull on the heartstrings of the uninformed. What they’re not telling you is this. Those so-called Glock switches are already illegal under federal law. It’s already a crime to possess them. So instead of enforcing laws that are already on the books and going hard after criminals, they’re going after your right to own the most popular self-defense pistol in America. This bill isn’t just about New York.

It’s part of a growing national movement to hold gun manufacturers liable for criminal misuse. An idea that would be laughed out of court if it was applied to any other industry. Should Ford be sued if a stolen F-150 is used in a robbery? Should Home Depot be sued because a hammer can be used as a weapon? It’s nonsense, but when it comes to the Second Amendment, logic goes out the window. Even Matthew Winchell, who’s a Tully Rickin attorney, said it best. This bill says to Glock, change your design or you’re banned from New York.

That’s not safety. That’s tyranny. This isn’t about safety at all. This is about control. The anti-gun lobby and far-left politicians are exploiting every single opportunity to paint gun owners as dangerous and manufacturers as irresponsible, all while ignoring the real root causes of violence in their cities. Oh yeah, Governor Kathy Hochul, who still hasn’t figured out how to stop subway attacks or violent crime in New York, says you are the problem because you own a Glock 19. She said, quote, I don’t think it’s okay that you should be able to take a gun and modify it so it becomes a military-style weapon to slaughter our residents.

Who the hell cares what you think? Your opinion or your feelings do not supersede rights, Kathy. We need to push back and we need to do it now. Contact your local New York state representatives, even if you don’t call them. These bills spread like a virus to other anti-gun states. Call them, hit them up on Twitter, email them, show up at their town halls, and let them know that punishing law-abiding gun owners is not the answer. There are links down below to figure out who your New York General Assembly or Senate members are, and if you live out of New York, use those to pick and choose who you’re going to call and berate for being stupid.

If you don’t draw the line here, they’ll take the next step, banning handguns entirely under false pretenses of public safety. We cannot afford to set this out.
