Inventor of 'Glock switch' technology says he feels 'terrified' of his creation

- When Jorge Leon invented at the age of 22 a small device that turns Glock pistols into fully automatic weapons, he said he intended it to be used for the good of society, to help the military and police in his native country of Venezuela.
But 26 years after being granted a U.S. patent for his "fire selector system," U.S. law enforcement officials say his creation is flooding the streets of American cities with these outlawed machine guns and many have fallen into the hands of teenage criminals indiscriminately using them to wreak havoc on communities both large and small.

LoL what a liar. Makes millions, now terrified and wants millions more from publicity.
This dude gaslighting all the way to the bank.
Full auto block is less effective than semi in most situations
Need a stock kit. Youre welcome
It's a waist of ammunition but it doesn't bother me being around.
I don't want one on my gun and I carry Glock.
you can get a switch like bubblegum in the hood
…I’m sorry, did he not put this on the market himself?
yes and no.
basically the problem was when he went to patent it,he did it in the usa...which is the problem, we're americans,we have the right to view that information, and patents include measurements so.....see the problem?
he either never knew or forgot how american patents and rights work, now anyone can legally view it and make their own.
@@bloodlove93 another point for ABC’s incredible reporting. This makes so much more sense. Appreciate the context.
lol I made a bazooka now I’m terrified
😂
It was an unnecessary invention imo. Why turn a glock full auto when sub machine guns exist?
If he’s so terrified he should give all the money he made off it away to the victims
Not every idea that comes into your mind should be implemented in real world. Use your energy to do things that promote life
Yea right all anybody does is create things to make them money, Yea people give a rats azz about each other uh not since pres bush jr patriot act hate each other act scam.
Self defense promoted life. Anything can be used and abused by bad people.
@@crispinfornoff206 Yeah you can't keep the crap out of jerks hands so have to arm everybody and get out of the way
Switches are like bump stocks a novelty at best
Yeah, Einstein regretted creating the formula for the Atomic bomb prior to his death… Some things are better just left alone…
Because he realized people are going to be irresponsible and apathetic just like they are.
Gaston Glock invented the switch this dude's just some poser. Glock was originally designed to be full-auto.
Terrified that one of his stacks of cash falls on him and may suffocate.
On behalf of all the law abiding citizens who enjoy these inventions for fun! we send our condolences to those who have been affected by these accessories in the wrong way and I hope we can come to a solution where we can exercise our right without fear of people thinking they may be harmed in the process and no I don't own one (Glock switch)
bro definitely owns one
And if you never knew about the device before, you do now because of this video. Great job ABC, way to bring more attention to a device people shouldn't have to begin with.
best advertising ever
No one had one before today, abc george stephenopolis is responsible for this story he is as bad as this guy who made it only worse because he knows all the consequenses of braodcasting this.
Only owned by your local gang member...😂
There has not been one reported shooting using that thing, It probably jams alot no one has one so who cares just a news story bs
Hold him accountable for all deaths resulting, from his invention !
How is a gun going to make the future better this people 😂😂😂
Yep that helped just like the nuclear bomb
😂 thanks you for your service 🙏
regret? then why the hell did he invent it?!
Thay need to quit making ing glocks and thos will stop
Suuuuch a baaaad boy. I draw erotic art and created the drone war and human (while im bragg!ng)
Bullshit, what did he think was going to happen???
lol, are they going to sue every AR manufacturer because you can easily make them full auto as well?
~ Great Job Pops ..... You got Blood all over Your hands ~ and it ain't Commin Off ..
What a gaslighter you love the money
I have become death…
No you are alvin a chipmunk
There has not been one shooting involving that switch so why all the fuss who cares nobody uses it it probably jams
Google: Glock switch modified gun used in George County deputy killing
@@billm8135 I see thats terrible, That thing is terrible and its horrible this abc ceo george stephnopolis broadcasts this story for money knowing all the consequences from hindsight and also advertising it that really is sociopathic of him.
He's lying.
Glock could easily change something in the design to prevent these switches from working. There are many other semi-auto handguns that can't be converted. Glock knows this keeps their name in the headlines and 2 of their handguns in the top 5 sold in the US.
Too late now
Glock is already gen 5-6 and government loves Glock.
Arrest him
For what?
@@JesseSevenSixTwo created guns guns are causing problems and deaths
How about arresting abc george stephenopolis abc ceo for broadcasting this story after now knowing all the consequences in hindsight plus advertising this device, Guy is a true anti social psychopath.
this guy should be thrown in jail.
your parents should be thrown in jail
For inventing something?!
🤣
If you are not 100% sure that you would go to heaven when you die, believe God's Word. 1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Jesus shed His blood on the cross for your sins. If you put your faith in that blood, you can have eternal life.. if you don't, you are already condemned to hell. Please turn to Christ why you still have a chance because you're not guaranteed another day.
Rom 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 6:23
For the wages of sin is death;
Psalms 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Acts 8:37
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Rom 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Corinthians 15:3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
