flag A Chicago judge allowed the city’s lawsuit against Glock and retailers to proceed, citing risks from easily converted handguns.

flag A Cook County judge has allowed Chicago’s lawsuit against Glock, Inc., its U.S. retailers, and its Austrian parent company to move forward, rejecting claims of immunity under federal law. flag The city alleges Glock’s handguns can be easily converted into illegal machine guns using aftermarket “Glock switches,” contributing to over 1,300 violent crimes in 2024, including homicides and car jackings. flag The lawsuit claims the company knowingly prioritized profits over public safety by designing and marketing firearms that facilitate such modifications, with retailers accused of promoting them through social media. flag The ruling clears a major legal hurdle, enabling discovery and potentially setting a precedent on corporate accountability in gun violence prevention, though the final outcome remains uncertain.
