NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman was at the Roundhouse on Thursday pushing a bill outlawing a device that turns weapons into automatic machine guns. Glock switches are currently illegal at the federal level but there’s no state law on it.
Bregman said it’s crucial to prosecute people who create “killing machines.”It is extremely important we recognize that too many people are making these switches that they put on semi-automatic weapons and turn them into machine guns. It’s scary. They’re cop killers. They can shoot 30 rounds in 3.2 seconds,” said Bregman.
Bregman argued that aligning with federal law will protect innocent lives.
