Glock: IL law underpinning Chicago’s gun violence lawsuit violates Second Amendment, is unconstitutional – Cook County Record

"Just as Chicago looks to blame certain carmakers for the City's inability to stop auto thefts in the City, Chicago seeks to place the blame on Glock, Inc. for crime involving the use of Modified Glock Pistols," Glock wrote in a recent court filing. "Chicago does not claim that Glock pistols fail to function properly when they are sold by Glock, Inc. and, in light of their popularity and reliability, does not seek to restrict their sale to, or use by, law enforcement."

Get caught committing a gun crime, SAFET lets them go. Committing a crime with a firearm, SAFET lets them go. Be on probation or parole and get arrested for having a gun, SAFET lets them go. Have a stolen gun and get arrested, SAFET lets them go. Have a gun with a “switch” to make it fully automatic, SAFET lets them go. Verdict, it’s the manufacturers fault.

How many of the Glock’s with switches were even purchased legally by the person holding them?
Bzzzz probably near zero.
