Blue state gun grabbers go after Glock
American Thinker ^ | 30 Mar, 2024 | Mike McDaniel

Thirteen Democrat Attorneys General wrote a letter to renowned gun maker Glock, noting Chicago’s lawsuit against the company and expressing concern over “machine-gun Glocks.”

Minnesota’s Islamist/Communist Attorney General Keith Ellison is now “investigating” and will almost certain sue several auto makers because his black constituents find their cars “easy to steal.” He’s not prosecuting car thieves; he wants to sue car makers for marketing entirely legal products, for “tempting” them to do what they would do regardless.

Ellison doesn’t have anything on Chicago and thirteen other blue state attorneys general. They’re threatening to sue iconic gun maker Glock because the Chinese—and others--are providing illegal “Glock switches, ” parts that turn legal semiautomatic Glock handguns into illegal, fully automatic handguns.

Thirteen Democrat Attorneys General wrote a letter to renowned gun maker Glock, noting Chicago’s lawsuit against the company and expressing concern over “machine-gun Glocks.”

The AGs represent Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Washington D.C.

The letter, dated March 26, 2024, references a Chicago lawsuit against Glock.

Breitbart News reported the suit on March 19, 2024, noting the Windy City claimed Glock is liable for the ease with which a “Glock switch” can be used to convert the semiautomatic handguns into full-auto.

Given the right parts and/or tools, virtually any semiautomatic firearm can be converted to automatic capability. The mere possession of such parts is a federal felony. Apparently, Chicago and the thirteen state AGs want to make such things double secret illegal? Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, rather than arresting and prosecuting criminals, is intent on diverting attention from his deadly fecklessness:

The crooks and their enablers both belong behind bars for a very long time.

There has to be a way to counter-sue. Lawfare is ruining this country & we have to find some means to stop it.

Full auto on a Glock is about as dumb as a bag of hammers. Actually, a bag of hammers would be smarter since you might actually hit the guy if you threw it at their head.

Ever fired a full-auto Glock pistol?

You’d better have a friend in the roofing business!

I remember years ago when you could get a little lever thing to make a .45 1911 ACP into a full auto. It worked similar to a bump stock without the stock.
The slide coming back caused the lever to push your trigger finger forward, then when the slide slammed closed, the pressure on the trigger caused the pistol to fire again.

I remember when Chuck Schummer screamed about Glocks because the plastic frame would allow them to pass through metal detectors and could be used to hijack aircraft. That week the moslems hijacked several planes. From a photo I saw it appeared they were using full steel pistols for their hijacking.

"The AGs represent Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Washington D.C."

And yet Glock will continue to ink contracts with law enforcement agencies in those states and continue to sell them weapons.

if the Blue States policed themselves properly there would be less demand for the 2A locally

they wouldn’t have to shut down legitimate business

I remember being at a pistol competition many decades ago where a fella 3 positions down from me had his 1911 .45 go full auto, putting 3 or 4 holes through the firing line roof! He had been perfecting a light trigger pull but had totally screwed up (obviously)!

Glock just needs to issue an Urgent and Mandatory Recall of their products in these States for the dangers they pose. Then render them permanently inoperable and send them back.

I personally don’t care for Glocks. I greatly prefer Smith weapons. But this is a great example of liberals going after a word that they’ve demonized. You could make up a word that has no definition in language and associate it with something g liberals don’t like and within a year, there will be legislation to ban it.

Liberals are easy to predict once you have identified their patterns.
