Chicago sues Glock for allegedly facilitating proliferation of unauthorized automatic weapons.
Chicago has filed a lawsuit against Glock, alleging that the handgun manufacturer is facilitating the proliferation of illegal machine guns in the city. The lawsuit accuses Glock of ignoring design flaws that allow its semi-automatic pistols to be easily converted into fully automatic weapons. Over 1,100 Glocks have been recovered by law enforcement in the last two years, connected to crimes including homicides, assaults, kidnappings, and carjackings. The city seeks a court order requiring Glock to stop selling guns to people in Chicago and seeks unspecified damages.
