Chicago Files Lawsuit Against Glock for Facilitating Proliferation of Illegal Machine Guns

Chicago has filed a lawsuit against Glock, accusing the company of facilitating the proliferation of illegal machine guns in the city by manufacturing and selling easily convertible semiautomatic pistols. The lawsuit, the first to use Illinois' new Firearms Industry Responsibility Act, seeks to hold Glock accountable for endangering the public. The city is seeking a court order to cease sales of these pistols to civilians in Chicago, as well as penalties and damages for the harm caused. This comes as law enforcement has recovered over 1,100 converted Glocks in connection with various crimes in the last two years.
