> Glock made machine guns? Who knew? <

That surprised me, too. I thought Glock only made bazookas and flamethrowers.

And now for my favorite Glock commercial (featuring the Gunny and a really hot girl). If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth the click.

Saving for later. Looks good for the first few seconds of it.

A city that had its elected officials declare itself a "Sanctuary City" has no standing in any court to sue anyone for anything.

"We're a sanctuary city. Your laws don't apply to us."

"I'm a sanctuary defendant. Your laws don't apply to me."

Gee, I dunno NorthMountain, I mean, you sure that’s high enough? What if they land on their heads and just sort of bounce around on the pavement? They need to be put through a paper shredder first. Yep, that’s the final solution. All in favor?

Question. Can a citizen of Chicago sue the city because they do a poor job educating the youth which leads them to a life of crime? After all it is easy to fix but the City of Chicago refuses to fix!

Will they go after the entities from China that are manufacturing and importing the sears into this country through Mexico for installation on legal guns?

Will they stop that actual criminal activity, or is this process a pretext to get rid of American Gun Manufacturers?

Does the DOJ care? Will they simply ignore the importers due to their desire to destroy the Second Amendment?

I think so, if history is our guide.

Maybe a heavy suppressor would add weight and control muzzle climb

I've seen videos of guys who can control them keeping everything in the center of a IPSC target, but they’re all excellent shooters with forearms like Popeye.

Even a G18 with a forward grip and a proper stock is a handful. I burp 3 to 5 round bursts max to keep it on the paper at 15 yards.

“...City is seeking a court order requiring Glock to cease sales of its easily converted pistols to Chicago civilians.”


But it’s just fine for Chicago police to still buy them. (I know, police are supposed to be ‘civilians’.)

Car manufacturers could make cars much, much safer....let's sue them.

Home builders could make homes more fire resistant or storm resistant.

Chiraq could make the city safer.....well,....ya know.

“.City is seeking a court order requiring Glock to cease sales of its easily converted pistols to Chicago civilians.”

Because of the recent Trump mess in NY state and now this in Illinois I can see lot’s of companies leaving those states.
Your could get hit with whatever the cause of the day lawsuit was in vogue. You might win after many $$$$ spent in court but just cheaper to move to Texas or Florida.

Next: auto companies threatened for providing drivers with means to kill people with cars. DUI, drugged driving and texting while driving cited as uses of dangerous vehicles sold to the drivers.😜🤪

Knife company executives given heads up they are headed for court soon, too.
