Unbelievable! It’s almost laughable what they come up with.
Less than a year after Chicago sued car makers over rampant auto thefts, the city filed another high-profile consumer lawsuit Tuesday targeting Glock, saying the popular firearms maker ignored warnings that its handguns can be easily converted into machine guns.
Tiny devices called auto sears or “switches” can be affixed to handguns such as Glocks, allowing them to fire repeatedly with a single trigger pull.
The devices can cost less than $25 each and be bought online, marketed for other purposes like attachments for airsoft guns. They can even be manufactured at home on 3D printers.
Mass shootings across the country, including a 2022 melee outside a McDonald’s on the Gold Coast and other attacks in Chicago, have involved Glocks equipped with switches.
