New York may become the first state to bar gun companies from selling pistols that can easily be converted into machine guns.

    FFLs are completely removed, as the switch, being illegal, is not a “regulated item” in the same sense as a lower/legal mg and cannot be sold.

    (Yes yes, if you have a class III SOT you can make one and pay the tax stamp and then it’s only transferrable to other SOTs. But if you’re an SOT you can have a Glock 18, so why would you?!)

      My meaning was that it’s illegal and no legitimate business is going to touch them. You won’t find these switches on the shelves of an above board gun store that has an FFL to lose.
