Speaker 2 (00:01):
The spokesperson there, Steven Wilifer, joining us now, Good morning, Steven,
welcome back.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
In good morning. How are you doing so.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm doing pretty good, pretty good gun owner myself. All
about the Second Amendment every once in a while. Go
h what about this though, a new law prohibiting the
sale of this new block style handgun. Are you driving
a pickup truck, buy a chance paper, perhaps a back
hoe that you're backing up?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I mean I am, and I can't well, I'm not
backing up or anything. I can't help that. My oldest
daughter had another one of my grand babies last night
and I'm keeping her kids. If you would have called earlier,
they were oh.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I got you. Hey, Look, life happens. Let's go. Let's
keep moving here.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
God bless you though, and congratulations on the new the
addition to the family.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Very cool.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, all right, So let's talk about this new law,
this glock style handgun. It can be easily converted into
this automatic weapon using a simple which And I know
that there's a lot of people pushing back on the
ban on this, but do we need this.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Well, no, we don't need the band I mean, anything
can be I guess converted to some to a full
automatic if you know how to do it and you
design the stuff to do it. And Glock has now
and you know, people on our side of the fence
a screaming that block capitulated. Well, they designed a new
(01:32):
gun and they quit producing the old ones altogether. And
often in the industry, they you know, that's what a
industry does, is they innovate, and it was time for
an innovation, and Glock designed it the new one where
you couldn't use the block switch on and converted and
(01:56):
now by screaming, oh, they capitulate it and they old
it and caved, and I see it completely different. They
got out of a bunch of lawsuits. And honestly, if
you're ready to, I guess, boycott Glock because they did this.
Were you going to put an illegal switch in it
(02:18):
to begin with? And if not, then you know you
can't kind of can't blame Glock. Probably the trying to
get out of the lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Let me ask you this, though, Steven, I thought fully
automat weapons were illegal.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
They are and the block switch is illegal and lawsuits
are ridiculous because Glock wasn't producing the clock switches. They
were being produced in China and shipped over to the
United States, and anyone that put one of the glock
switches in was doing it illegally anyway, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And King Clock, I mean, are they not adding to
the problem with their new innovation.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well, in some ways they are, but I understand they're
you know, they're allowing they're allowing lawsuits to configure their
new guns, and in some ways that's bad. But nobody
else makes a block switch for their gun, you know,
(03:23):
so now they're no different than any other manufacturer. And
you know, it's hard to fault them for wanting to
get out of the lawsuits. We have to understand as
an industry that all these lawsuits and note none of
them were one, but they drove Remington Arms out of business.
(03:45):
Remington Farms was put out of business because of all
the lawsuits that were against it. And you know, we
have to understand that, you know, these industries and we
need to come together an industry and defend them. Uh,
and that all these lawsuits should be against the Second Amendment.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
What's the law I don't understand the lawsuit. You know,
what was the lawsuit that pushed glock into going ahead with,
you know, converting a gun that is capable of being switched.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
The Yeah, they were being sued by several states because
they made a gun that could be easily converted into
a full automatic.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, then don't And they were.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Being sued by these states saying, oh, and you just
let this happen. And Glock didn't plan it that way.
They didn't make it where it would just happen.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, so to avoid the lawsuit, you know, just don't
make it where it can be switched, because you're killing
two birds with one stone. You're you're dropping a lawsuit,
and secondly, you're you know, complying with the illegal automatic
weapon ban.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah. Well that's essentially what Glog did as they went
and redesigned their gun so it couldn't be switched so easily.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
People are mad about that because.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
They got pushed. They feel like they've been pushed around.
But I gotta tell you, until they legalize fully automatic weapons,
Glock ought not to jump into the bucket of you know,
helping that happen.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I mean, am I missing something?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
They weren't jumping. They weren't jumping into that bucket. They
didn't they didn't design the gun so it could be
switched easily. It just happened that somebody figured out that
if you did this, it could be switched to pull out.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I got you, so, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
They blog didn't design it like that, Okay, good, all right, Well,
I'm glad you clarified that.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
All right, very good.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I appreciate that, Steven, and once again, congrats on the
new family member. Stephen Wilford there a spokesperson for Gun
