Republican governor signs gun control bill to ban ‘Glock switches’ as part of public safety package

The Republican governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey, signed a gun control bill on Wednesday, banning “Glock switches” and other devices that turn rifles and pistols into machine guns.

Ivey said: “While there is a federal ban on these gun conversion devices, we needed a way to empower our own law enforcement here in Alabama to get these illegal and extremely dangerous Glock switches off our streets.
