I have work tirelessly since getting into office to build a strong coalition to support a state Glock switch ban. I have held countless hours of meetings with legislative colleagues and leadership, law enforcement, community groups and advocates, families, clergy, and more to craft this legislation.
I know other elected officials have spoken out about this issue and have expressed support for such a law.
This bill is just one of many ways that we can and should try to enhance community safety and protect against gun violence. We all have a role to play and must take responsibility – from homes and families to clergy to mentors to the community to lawmakers.
Laws will not stop every tragedy – but a Glock switch ban can save some lives. Therefore, we must take action. Together, we can do the right thing and get this bill over the finish line.
— Alabama State Rep. Phillip Ensler in Together, we can save lives from gun violence with a Glock switch ban
Wow, thank you for all the time invested to make an illegal product even more illegal. I am certain that those people and groups you conferred with have no idea of the Federal Law that outlaws Automatic Weapons ever since the 1930s. This new law will certainly enhance the seriousness and importance of your standing in the anti-2nd amendment groups. I am certain your next mission will be to make Murder with Hate in the heart of the killer even more serious. Thank you for your service. /s

Incorrect, you can legally buy one, provided you know of one for sale that is registered pre-1986…
Not a relevant bit of information for many states unfortunately.

Note no mention of political party, even in the reference OpEd. He is of course a Dimocrat. Allegedly after only 2 years as Teacher, 10 years ago, he’s lost scores of former students. The usual HOGWASH!
