flag Connecticut proposes ban on handgun conversion switches to enhance public safety.

flag Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont is pushing legislation to ban the sale of handguns easily convertible into machine guns using aftermarket switches, such as the "Glock switch," following concerns over public safety and the recovery of over 50 such devices in the state. flag The proposed law, House Bill 5043, would require manufacturers to prevent such conversions, targeting striker-fired pistols that can be altered with common tools. flag While law enforcement and gun safety advocates support the measure, citing risks from 3D-printed switches and past shootings, opponents argue the bill’s language is too broad and could restrict law-abiding gun owners. flag A public hearing has drawn both support and criticism, with debate centering on balancing gun rights and safety.
