Indiana Court Rules 2nd Amendment Excludes Machine Guns

The Indiana Court of Appeals recently determined that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution does not extend protections to machine guns. This ruling clarifies the legal status of fully automatic firearms and conversion devices, like the “Glock switch,” which can convert semi-automatic handguns into automatic weapons. The court’s decision followed the arrest of an 18-year-old who was convicted for possessing a Glock fitted with such a device, culminating in a four-year sentence for felony machine gun possession.

This case underscores a growing legal discourse on the scope of gun rights in America and sets a significant precedent for future cases involving automatic firearms. By citing established case law, the court reinforces the distinction between standard firearms and those classified as machine guns, prompting discussions about the implications for law enforcement and regulatory practices in Indiana and potentially beyond.
