Are they going to sue Hi-Point too? :lol
The city of Chicago has sued the Austrian firearms manufacturer Glock, accusing the gunmaker of knowingly ignoring a design flaw that allows its pistols to be converted into automatic weapons.
According to the lawsuit filed by the City of Chicago Law Department along with Everytown Law and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP, the converted weapons are contributing to violence in Chicago.
Despite media coverage of the high rate of violence in Chicago, the city saw a drop in murders and shootings last year. In January, the Chicago Police Department reported there were 617 murders in the city last year, down from 709 in 2022.
The number of shooting victims also dropped from 3,484 in 2022 to 2,883 in 2023. That data does not indicate how often Glock firearms were used in shootings.
