Today, we proved that progress can happen and that the Alabama legislature can come together to help solve real problems," said Rep. Philip Ensler.

The Alabama Senate passed a bill intended to ban Glock switches. The bill states a person who has possession of the device would be prosecuted with a Class C felony charge. Parents celebrating the bill's passage see the ban protecting their children.

The law, which goes into effect immediately, targets devices that turn semiautomatic handguns into makeshift machine guns.
