Blue state gun grabbers go after Glock

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.

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:

This is still more evidence that the Anti’s are to bog-ignorant of firearms to be able to exterminate them.

Most of Glock’s patents up to and including Gen3 have expired, so everybody and Tiny Tim is free to manufacture and sell replicas of Gen3 Glocks. And there are dozens of new companies that are selling Glock knock-offs, and many of them are fine firearms because Gaston designed the Glock to be easy and inexpensive to manufacture with a relative immunity to “stacking tolerances.” So all but a few of the component parts are impervious to “loose tolerances.”

And the most of the knock-offs — except those that market themselves as boutique ne-plus-ultra versions — sell for substantially less than the genuine article.

So if Glock were to shutter all its plants first thing Monday a.m., in a matter of a week or two the knock-offs would ramp up production and there’d be just as many NIB Glock-like handguns on sale as there are today.

So if anything, the Blue State Anti-Gun Genius Society could be doing the Glock replica companies a YUGE favor, but it won’t get any guns off the street. Not a one.
