touch trigger, bang.
I suggest Maura go take a midnight walk on the wild side in Baltimore so she can make up her mind. :0)
Take those dangerous Glocks away from the police IMMEDIATELY! It’s for the safety of the children! Any Massachusetts police officer is a walking time bomb! That Glock the cop is carrying could go off at any time!
Disclaimer- I own stock in S&W and Sig.
Thousands of police and hundreds of thousands of citizens carry Glocks every day without accidentally setting them off.
No. Such. Thing.
Negligent discharge, maybe... But not accidental.
AG Healey has gone on a Quixote-esque crusade against guns over the past few weeks:
from weaponsman.com:
In Massachusetts, gun owners, would-be gun owners, and Federal licensees have been having a hard time getting any information about the constantly-changing gun ban that national socialist Attorney General Maura Healey (Heil Healey!) imposed as a stunt before heading to the DNC to, she expects, boost her political career.
Healey’s office will not answer questions by letter or email, because the last thing they want is to have a written document holding them to a single position. Instead, her minions will answer questions by telephone. But she will not permit callers to record the conversation; in Massachusetts, recording a conversation without the permission of both sides is a felony, and in this way, she prevents having to take responsibility for her anchorless position.
They also refer people to this page in which the AG’s office attempts to explain what a law means, when it means whatever the Red Queen says it does, no more and no less, at any given moment.
http://www.mass.gov/ago/public-safety/awbe.html
(It also includes a laundry list of Democrat politicians who support the ban, which includes, stop us if this shocks you, all of the “non-partisan” gun-control groups that say they’re only for “common-sense measures.” No, that didn’t shock us, either).
But Mass. gun owners noticed something funny about the page. It kept changing. For example, .22 rifles were included, then not; rifles have been through several iterations. (Current definition, which might have changed by the time you see it, is that any semi-auto centerfire rifle that can accept 6 or more rounds in a detachable or fixed magazine, is an “assault rifle” and is banned in the People’s Republic of Mass. (graphic omitted)
So the few hardy surviving gun owners in this hostile environment used the internet changelog technology of changedetection.com to make a page tracking Healey’s ever-evolving position.
https://www.changedetection.com/log/gov/mass/awbe_log.html
Unfortunately, the guy who set this page up wasn’t able to do it in time to catch the early iterations of the wording. However, there are 13 changes logged since the tracker went live on 25 July, and some of them are quite substantive. On 3 August, 192 words were added. On 5 August, almost 1600 words, 24% of the page. On 19 August, 1327 words added and 317 deleted. It’s been changed three times in the last five days — so far.
Is the instability of the guidance here a simple consequence of Heil Healey!’s ambition and corruption filtered through her and her staff’s equally simple incompetence? Or is it a deliberate attempt to undermine Heil Healey!’s enemies with fear, uncertainty or doubt?
Meanwhile, the AGO is doing little to nothing to pursue actual violent criminals. They’re her partners in the System; people who might vote for her opponent, they are her enemies. The distinction is everything to her and to hers.

How about someone investigate negligent politicians? They have harmed far more than any single gun ever could.
Healey is an ideologue. She is ignorant regarding firearms.

Contrary to Hillary's insistence, firearms manufacturers are not immune from lawsuits regarding liability for defective design. SOURCE. However, they are protected against lawsuits pertaining to the firearm operating the way it's designed to; that's why organizations such as the Brady bunch and VPC are outraged that they are specifically prohibited from twisting the law in that manner. It keeps tort lawyers from monster liability payoffs such as the tobacco companies were tagged with.
However, firearms manufacturers are responsible for matters of defective design and quality control - there is a current lawsuit against Century Arms in that regard. The question here is if the state lawyers can manage to talk the judge into allowing them to critique the basic design of the Glock trigger and decide whether it is sufficiently safe according to standards they intend to set on the spot. That strikes me as stretching it even for a liberal court and highly subject to overturn upon appeal, but I'm not an attorney nor do I play one on FR.
I’m not a huge Glock fan, but I do own one, a G30.
From my experience, it shoots every time you pull the trigger, and does not shoot when you don’t pull the trigger. I may not be a lawyer, but I fail to grasp the legal standing for a lawsuit.
I am well aware of that alleged problem, although it's "negligent" and not "accidental", and that is why I own a Glock as my home-defense weapon. Loaded Glocks go "bang" every time you pull the trigger, and I like that feature. I do not recommend Glock to people who refuse to follow basic firearms safety, since Glocks are prone to negligent discharge in the hands of fools, but I recommend them strongly to people who never, ever do dumb things with their firearms.
Maura Healey is a demented woman with a sub-standard intellect who has taken it upon herself to violate both ststute law and the constitution in her one-woman campaign loudly and visibly to hate firearms.
Like several Massachusetts Attorneys-General before her, she cares nothing for the legislative process and chooses to rule by fiat in the face of massive popular opposition.
This is a women who would be right at home in Russia, China, Vietnam, or Cuba.
