Feds sue California over Glock-conversion ban, arguing 2nd Amendment clash

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a federal lawsuit in California challenging AB 1127, California's Glock-style handgun restrictions aimed at devices that convert semiautomatic pistols into fully automatic weapons, arguing the law violates the Second Amendment. It seeks to block enforcement of the Glock ban and challenge parts of California’s handgun roster. California defends the measures as lifesaving public-safety tools with exemptions for dealers, law enforcement, and military. The case, filed in the Central District of California, adds to ongoing legal battles over gun control and tests how the 2nd Amendment applies to state restrictions.

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.
