Maryland Lawsuit Targets Glock For Violence Perpetrated By Criminals

The state of Maryland and City of Baltimore have filed a lawsuit against gunmaker Glock for criminals illegally converting the company’s guns to fire full-auto, even though it’s not the company’s fault.

Earlier this week, Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott filed the lawsuit. According to a report at Cbsnews.com, the lawsuit alleges that Glock violated the state’s Gun Industry Accountability Act and contributed to the “gun violence crisis” (anti-gun code for blaming guns for criminal violence). 

“Since 1990, Glock has manufactured a pistol that can easily be converted into a machine gun,” Brown told the news outlet.

Of course, converting a Glock to full-auto wasn’t a big thing back in 1990, or 2000 or 2010. But criminals nowadays seem more prone to convert the pistols despite the fact that they commit a serious felony when they do so.

At issue is the so-called “Glock switch,” a piece of metal or plastic that can be used to illegally convert Glock pistols to fire full-auto, as opposed to the normal, as-manufactured-and-sold semi-auto function of the popular handguns. In a nutshell, a “Glock switch,” or “Glock auto-sear,” is a small piece of metal or plastic that someone could make and illegally attach to the rear of the slide of a Glock to convert it to full-auto fire. The switch works by applying force to the trigger bar to prevent it from limiting fire to one round of ammunition per trigger pull. 

The name is deliberately misleading because Glock does not manufacture the switches. Additionally, converting any firearm to fire fully automatic is a federal felony, and even possessing a “Glock switch” could result in a federal prison sentence of up to 10 years.

Not surprisingly, gun-control advocates want to sue the company, which has committed no crime, instead of arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating those who break the law. Go figure.

According to the lawsuit, Glock has claimed it cannot fix the problem. And to be honest, it would have to completely redesign one of the most well-known and reliable striker-fired pistols ever designed to do so. And despite liberal prosecutors saying otherwise it’s not their fault that criminals misuse their product.

It would be like someone souping up a Ford F150 pickup and speeding around town well in excess of the speed limit and running over people, then prosecutors suing Ford for making pickups that could be modified. Who knew Ford was so evil?

Incidentally, Baltimore and Maryland aren’t the only ones targeting Glock. Last December, AGs from New Jersey and Minnesota also sued the company over criminals using “Glock switches” to make the guns full-auto. Earlier in the year, Chicago also filed such a suit, accusing Glock of contributing to the city’s runaway violence.

Interestingly, between early October 2024 and last November’s presidential election, talk of how evil Glocks are became all but nonexistent. That’s because Vice President Kamala Harris, while trying to woo gun owners to vote for her, claimed she owned a Glock pistol. She never said whether she had affixed a “Glock switch” to the gun, but did tell Oprah Winfrey, “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot.”
