In a letter today to Southport-based gun manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co., Attorney General William Tong raised grave public safety concerns regarding the company’s semi-automatic pistols that can be easily converted using machine gun conversion (MCD) devices into illegal fully automatic weapons as fast or faster than those deployed by the military.
The letter cites new authority granted to the Office of the Attorney General this year through the Connecticut Firearms Industry Responsibility Act, which permits the state to bring civil enforcement actions against gun manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers who fail to implement reasonable controls to prevent the sale of firearms to straw purchasers, firearm traffickers, individuals prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law or individuals the firearm industry member has reasonable cause to believe intend to use it for a crime or to cause harm to themselves or others. The statute specifically requires the industry to enact reasonable controls to prevent the sale or distribution of a firearm product designed in a manner that is reasonably foreseeable to promote conversion of a legal firearm into an illegal firearm. The letter also cites authority under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act.
“Ruger is on notice. They know, we know, and criminals know that their RXM pistol can be easily converted to an illegal, lethal fully automatic weapon. They can modify their product to be safer, or they can continue to profit from crime and violence and answer to a lawsuit,” said Attorney General Tong.
Machine gun conversion devices are a threat to public safety in Connecticut. In 2023 (the latest full year for which complete data is available), the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives traced 31 such devices in Connecticut in connection to law enforcement investigations. The Hartford Police Department reported recovering 53 machine gun conversion devices. Pistols transformed by these devices have shown up across Connecticut in public parks, residential neighborhoods, city streets, and a hospital.
AG Tong admits that criminals do not obey the law! So why are the law abiding citizens being regyulated so harshly in Connecticut?! This truly is lawfare, he is a democRat hack who is a tyrant a fake and a fraud. He loves illegals, men in womens bathrooms and trannies in womens sports. Connecticut is broken
And Ford knows that the F150 can be used by drunk drivers
What’ the fucking point Mr. AG
Seriously…why is anyone actually surprised that they would start going after GLOCK clones?
Frankly, the folks at GLOCK are geniuses. They make one little alteration, that in no way compromises performance, protect it with a patent, and then watch all of the companies building knock-offs of their old Gen3 fall prey to the liberal BS.
On this topic, I haven’t seen very many people commenting on the obvious. Yes, a “Glock switch” is stupid easy to make, with a 3D printer (and the right software, of course), and a Glock can be converted to ‘full-auto’ fire. Guess what? So can any other semi-auto weapon. Some are more complicated to modify than others, I admit, but it is POSSIBLE, with proper tools and a little knowledge, to do it with any semi-auto firearm. Have no desire to take my Glocks to “full auto”, that would be stupid and expensive waste of ammunition, but . . . any reasonably competent gun owner could to it. Ditto most other guns that operate in ‘semi-auto’ mode; it just might take a little longer, and require more fiddling.
Make it simple – allow any American citizen, otherwise able to purchase a firearm legally, but any damn firearm they can afford. Personally, I’d love an MP5. Cops can have them; why can’t I?

UC Berkeley currently looks like a war zone.
An ANTIFA member just lit off a flare resulting in TPUSA event attendees being rushed inside.
A car then comes and starts backfiring visibly scaring multiple attendees who feared they were hearing gunshots.

They’re always shocked when they realize there are consequences for their actions.
The thing is these left wing morons ‘self-justify’ in their confused emotionally driven mentally ill state just like the mentally ill mass-shooters do – driven by an self-feeding confirmation biased emotional state over something they blame on others or something else thus they self-justify their actions. Every one of these left wing morons, ‘just a mom’ or not, are unstable and always just a moment away from enacting violence of some sort, its just a matter of when and if they can do it without being stopped.
So the switches work just as well on the Ruger clones? Good to know!
Well. What does the NRA have to say about this???
Since they said the bumpstock should be regulated.
The rich and the criminal, will always have access to machine guns.
And the “gun community” likes it that way. Because the “gun community” never supported the bumpstock.
“That’s just.
A waste of ammunition”
I wonder how many select fire weapons the police departments in the state of connecticut have???
Since the Obama/Biden administration flooded the state law enforcement with those guns.
I’m in the gun community and I bought a bumpstock because I supported them. Having fun is not wasting ammunition. I disagree with President Trump banning them, though I realize he played the long game with SCOTUS and headed off having Congress legally redefine it as they were ready to do.
Yes President Trump was playing the long game. And I’m glad he did.
The “gun community” has yet to educate the population as to why civilians should have machine guns.
And we accept the responsibility and hold criminals accountable. But right now we are not holding criminals accountable.
The libertarians liberals and the left believe criminals should not be locked up. They have self hatred. They feel bad locking up the guilty. Because the criminals have dark skin.
Edit
“And we accept the responsibility and hold criminals accountable.”
And we need to accept the responsibility and hold criminals accountable.
We don’t hold criminals accountable.
And that is how you lose the right to have nice things.
Does Ruger manufacture, sell or advertise these conversion kits to the general public? If no, this AG can suck it and crawl back under his fungus covered rock. The manufacturer, distributor, or end of line seller has absolutely no liability for what others do to their product. SCOTUS is going to have to send down decisions that take the kegs out from under these illegal rulings and ordinances.
IMHO, every single person whether Branch Libtardian or RINO Fudd can go take lawfare like this and ram it dry up their 5th point of contact.
