", and other things said by people who don't understand firearm manufacturing.
It's pretty easy to convert most firearms to full auto as long as you have even a little mechanical knowledge, and some basic cnc tooling.
The cnc tooling raises the entry bar, but you absolutely can do the same things with a $50 trip to a hardware store. It just takes longer and more elbow grease.
I guess my point is, if you're gonna do this, you should go after the whole industry.
Yes, I am aware how easy glock modification is. If I had a glock (I dislike hammerless) the theoretically I could 3d print a "giggle switch" and within a few hours of hitting "print" I would have what I need.
But whether it's 3 hours or 3 days of work, it's still possible.
So again, if you do this, please go after all of them.
(note, I hold the opinions that gun control needs to be drastically overhauled and my lgbtq+ friends and neighbors should arm themselves in places like the US and learn how to use your firearm, because the people who will be coming after you in the coming years certainly will be)
For anyone looking for a lgb gun group, I've heard good stuff from https://www.pinkpistols.org/
