Why Is Chicago Suing Glock For Criminals Using Glock Switches?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 кві 2024
- Glock doesn't even make these switches, and it's illegal to own one. So why would you sue a company over a product it doesn't even make and that is already illegal?
Also, calling Glock switches weapons of mass destruction is Just CRAZY and reckless hyperbole designed to scare people whose knowledge of guns comes from movies.
I know it seems counterintuitive, but Glocks with switches shoot too fast to be effective at shooting a bunch of people.
But these people are clever. They're creating state laws to circumvent federal laws, like the Illinois Firearms Industry Responsibility Act, or FIRA, passed last year.
The law allows gun manufacturers to be held accountable for public harm caused by action or inaction from their sales and marketing practices.
You see how sneaky they are. Oh, we're not suing them because the criminals are using their guns, we're suing them because they won't take the steps to make their guns safer.
I know it's just as stupid but remember the goal isn't to win, the goal is to bring one case after another to bankrupt the company.

It's like suing Toyota for allowing terrorists mount machine guns on their trucks.
😂
😭😭😭😭😭
🤣
This sounds like a ridiculous comparison, but it is exactly the same thing.
Let's sue all auto makers because drunk people get behind the wheel and hurt people.
Instead of locking up criminals they sue a gun manufacturer
It all about control and while doing that aslo making money in the same time lol
Felons are caught with guns all the time, lucky if they serve 6 months time! They know the system is a joke and protects them!
kinda weird they picked a switch that has the glock logo on it...almost as if...............the cops put it on there.....hmmm
@@kawrss31 yea none of the ones I've seen have the logo.. they even say they aren't made by glock..
Perhaps they have finally managed to pack their Illinois supreme court with antigunners and think they have a chance at a successful blame-shift suit.
Do they press charges against automobile manufacturers when a drunk driver kills someone driving?
Good question, that's how stupid their logic seems to be
For that matter, why not include the bar or liquor store the alcohol was purchased from, as well as whoever made the alcohol..
they should, because why else are there cup holders in cars?
Been tried, more than once.
And also, because they can't or don't want, to go after those responsible for crash.
And with how messed up US courts are, it should be no surpise people try. I recall case where trucking company was found liable millions in compensation, because speeding car slipped on snowy road, went into opposing lane and crashed into a truck. Somehow trucking company was found at fault, based on argument that if truck was not driving that day, there would be no accident.
@@Riceball01 You can, in fact, sue a business for overserving or letting someone drive who's drunk.
"Weapon of mass destruction" . This phrase has so little meaning now.
This was the comment I was looking for. Glock Switches... literal genocide 🙄
That's what politically insane leftists do. They think words have infinite power so they use terms like racist, nazi, bigot, and now calling guns WMDs. These terms have been watered down to such a degree that barely anyone cares anymore.
These fists are weapons of mass destruction.
quick send in the army lol
like the switches would upgrade the guns to shoot nuclear charges... 🤣
maybe instead of blaming glock take responsibility for your terrible choices
It is, very "woke" of him. Blaming others for the horrible weak leader he is. And the poor choices he's made, because of it.
i feel that, but it is weird that they don't just make them without removable backplates. but whatever shit doesn't affect me lmfao. i live in a state that lets it's residents carry guns, as such we don't see these sorts of silly people running around (as Much)
I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how machine guns are more dangerous than semi autos.
A 'Progressive' Leftist Politician taking responsibility for the backwards policies they push? They'd sooner watch their city burn than take responsibility for anything.
@TheAdequateMedia the gun is assembled with that plate not installed. It's not their for fashion. Without it, various parts couldn't find their way into the slide to make it function.
Sounds like Glock needs to sue the city of Chicago for allowing criminals to modify and illegally acquire Glock pistols.
That's a great point 👍
Nice
Exactly
That would be funny showing Chicago has been negligent in maintaining a safe environment by not preventing the switches from being used. Arguably not much different from failing to use the gun safety measures the gun control group wants. If they can try to go after people for not using a trigger guard, the city can be accountable for not doing more.
Or better yet, get a lobby to remove all ammo, sales and parts support from all agencies in that state.
City of Chicago got money for everything and everybody but improving the quality of life for the people that actually live there
You can technically make any gun automatic if you know what you doing except revolvers and bolt action rifles, chicago had a high crime rate before glock switches that mayor is a clown
Look up Howell automatic for that bolt action lol (its just not full auto)
Philip A Luty demonstrated years ago that you can build a functional 9mm SMG from common hardware, and with little or no machine tools (mills, lathes, etc). Where there's a will, there's a way!
@@TubeRadiosRule tegnically you dont need electricity. you can silver solder and hand drill and file it. it just takes longer.
Coach guns cannot be automatic.
Train your trigger finger to be fast enough and you can fire fast enough to not matter that it is semi-auto instead of auto.
An ATF agent calling a full auto pistol a WMD is literally proof we need to disband the ATF immediately
It was pretty damn embarrassing to listen to him saying that. SMH
Fully agree.
@@fleatactical7390
Even funnier that it's more likely to destroy the user with a limp wrist
By definition a WMD is only CBRN. Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear. Such as a nuke or hydrogen bomb. Small arms, especially a tiny pew pew like a handgun absolutely do not meet the definition. This is proof the people who make laws have zero clue on the issue.
WMD = nuclear bomb
So, an accessory, not made by Glock, that can turn your Glock pistol into an automatic weapon is Glocks fault? It's only in clown world that this makes sense.
Yes the idiot's in charge of that city are completely broken no clue about reality.
With that logic, Ford can be held responsible for car enthusiasts modifying their Mustangs if/when they get into an accident. Ridiculous.
Glock doesn’t kill us in Chicago…. People in Chicago kill us in Chicago…
It would be funny if Glock already has safety warnings about not using unauthorized modifications or accessories for other random stuff like the wrong bullets or magazines.
I agree And a multiple Glocks owner And Glocks Are not for mass destruction 😭😭 Wow Only for self-defense at home defense etc. I own a gun license and I don’t even take my weapons out of my house always put away bcus people think there bad any CPD Carry’s a Glock pistol And every special agent federal FBI ATF
"Sophisticated engineer that most civilian can't do"
Fire arms are a medieval technology on itself and even the most complex ones can be printed nowadays.
Not to mention all engineers are civilians. Defense industry is largely civilians or civilian contractors no? I don't recall an MOS or Rate for firearms engineering or manufacture
dont u need to remove like 2 pins to turn some semi guns auto?
I would like to mention that there is a Croatian sniper rifle given to our special police (basically swat under a different name) before yugoslav wars that literally looks like a pipe weapon from fallou4.
Hell, our gun most well known manufacturer literally started out as two guys who never built a rifle trying to sell something they bashed together.
"Fire arms are a medieval technology on itself"
Which is why the Beretta 92 has been around, and heavily used, in the intercity wars of Mid-Renaissance Italy........................no wait. :P
@@truthseeker308 Firearms aren't complex, the guy that designed the FGC-9 3D printable rifle wasn't an engineer, had no background or training in engineering or CAD. He was just an enthusiastic amateur that read some books on how firearms worked and wanted to make one himself. Then he just went and did. Before the advent of 3D printing any rural Cleatus with a metal lathe could (and often did) make their own firearms. Pakistanis with hand tools make AK-47s that are often better quality than the mass produced factory made version. It's actually no more difficult than learning how to work on your car.
Hell you’re better off facing someone with fully automatic Glock as they’ll empty the mag in a couple of seconds and be inaccurate while doing so.
The real question is why do they keep letting repeat offenders out of jail?
Come on, we know why.
it is their voting base
@@Razor-gx2dq I know, it's about money and the prison/police industrial complex.
Create a problem after you have a solution.
They will blame it on the lack of funding
1100 Glocks with switches confiscated by Chicago P.D. Yet the A.T.F. isn't prosecuting and charging them federally. Chicago has one of the lowest rates of federal prosecution for gun crimes.
They only prosecute white people.
Notice how Colion lets you know each switch (just the switch!) carries a ten-year prison sentence on it if caught with one. Yet, as you said, these thugs in Chicago won’t even get charged.
Make it make sense… 🥴
Because allowing the problem to exist helps to push more gun control. This is why they throw the book at pro-gun people and let hard criminals with bad intent off with probation and later commit a serious crime. Then the Dems will blame the gun and say we need more gun control. Majority of mass shootings happen in Gun free zones and our highest crime rates are in anti-gun states and cities. Dems don't care about people, they care about power and control.
It really just depends on your skin color if you get charged. Let a white guy get one and they'll throw the book at him. The only reason they're not charging them in Chicago is they don't want to add to the crime statistics
I wondered about that. It should be a federal charge each time someone is caught with them
Those "Glock locks" aren't made in the us, and if so are done illegally. Shouldn't they focus on those making these illegal parts, or those who are importing them?
But that would involve arresting most of the FBI & ATF
That’s like suing the manufacturer of the guns used in the north Hollywood shootout because the bank robbers made them full auto.
Can we sue prosecutors and DAs for releasing these criminals back onto our streets? Seems like they're doing a HELL of a lot more damage than the gun manufacturers.
Same here in ny! Especially with the "bail reform" bullshit. I jury on a case, kid alrdy had numerous gun felonies, yet, just goes and gets another when he gets out, then 2nd or 3rd time an innocent was shot and killed...
Well of course, they got the gun, why do they need the perp, I mean hey, it's not like he has his gun anymore right? I bet within 30-60 minutes of the perp getting released, he's got another one.
Yes
No. 42USC1983 disallows it.
Just another reason to realize the true intent of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Yup- look at all multiple felons that get caught with firearms and then released on a daily basis here in Minnesota, and especially Hennepin County. But of course, we need MORE gun laws. Don't bother enforcing the ones we have already...
I like the analysis of this lawsuit. Good video.
If they so great give glock switches to Chicago pd
we should be able to sue the state DA's when a repeat offender harms a law abiding citizen
This is it right here. There are already plenty of laws on the books, how about enforcing them and not giving double triple quadruple probation for dangerous people or letting them plea to a misdemeanor
That would be mass incarceration. Close the prisons. Defund the police.
1000%
@@charliew1853You forgot double secret probation.
ALL the gun manufacturers should refuse to sell Chicago PD one more firearm until they crop this suit.
Refuse to sell to all Illinois cops until this and pica are gone
Many police departments don't even own many of their weapons, they are leased from the manufacturers.
If they have any lease agreements with Glock or any of Glock's business partners, these leases should be retracted and all firearms confiscated.
Less guns in Illinois is probably a good thing. Mississippi has a murder rate 3x higher than Illinois. Hmm, maybe there's too many guns in untrained hands over there.
@@Taolan8472leased? I never heard that before. That’s crazy
@@Taolan8472 Exactly!
"Weapon of mass destruction." Homie been huffin a bit too much glue
Soo basically their resoning is like saying "Ford F-150’s have been used in multiple dui stops and dui related cases, we should sue Ford for making the F-150"
Chicago is suing anyone they think they can make a buck on😂
The Mayor talking to Omni Consumer Products...
They're broke and they need more sources of money to promote leftist ideas. Perhaps they have finally managed to pack their Illinois supreme court with antigunners and think they have a chance at a successful blame-shift suit.
Yeah because they bankrupt themselves 😂😂
I keep saying: we don't have a gun problem, we have a lawyer problem.
The damn lawyers keep letting criminals walk free too.
Which is a societal problem in the United States.
And a culture problem
It's a Justice Department problem...
Corrupt Politicians Problem ...................... We had John Howard the most corrupt Liberal Party PM disarming the whole of Australia with FEAR mongering
Thats like suing a car manufacturer because someone modified a car.
The bigger question is why won't the ATF go after the known gangsters posting pics of themselves on social media with their illegally modified Glocks.
If you want police officers showing up to your house over social media posts, we would have to give up a lot of privacy and rights to the government.
@@dattouchtho I'm soryy, but one has nothing to do with the other. Flexing a modified Glock on Social Media should be part of Fuck around and Find out.
Heres an idea... now, it sounds kinda nuts, but its worked before....
REPEAL THE GUN LAWS AND LET THE CITIZENS FIGHT BACK!
Hear HEAR!!
EXACTLY! AND IT TAKES LAW ENFORCEMENT TO GET "TO THE SCENE" HOW LONG *AFTER 1) THE ACTION HAS BEEN COMMITTED(?) AND 2) BY THE TIME "THEY" DO GET THERE THE PERSON HAS ALREADY LEFT.....CAN TESLA BE SUED BECAUSE OF THE "AUTO PILOT" ALLOWS PEOPLE TO "DRIVE SLEEP" SHOULDN'T THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY BE SUED FOR SECOND HAND SMOKE? MCDONALD GOT SUED FOR MAKING PEOPLE "FAT"
But they won't, they want the failure of society to become a reality.
if you did that it would Dem's would start to lose their voter base
Start doing the needful….in Minecraft.
Theres probably been a drop in killings because 90% of people cant hit the brawd side of a barn with a full auto pistiol burning though your mag in 1.5 seconds.
That's what those idiots don't understand. Full auto isn't for accuracy it's for suppression!
I havnt seen any mass murders where it was determined the shooter used a switch or even a full auto anything else...
There was a similar story line in an episode of "Law & Order" years ago.
I'm a self taught welder who has only held air guns in his life, but i can think of 1000 ways of converting any pistol to full auto.
full auto shouldn't be illegal anyway. all gun legislation is a violation. that being said. stop letting your criminals out of jail.
They know what they are doing.
Perhaps they have finally managed to pack their Illinois supreme court with antigunners and think they have a chance at a successful blame-shift suit.
True, it goes against our God given rights to defend ourselves. It’s constitutionally protected 👍
Hard disagree on the first half, agreed on the other.
@@DocMitchell69why do you want to restrict it?
Cars have 12V cigarette lighter sockets. People use them to keep their cell phones charged.
So car mfgs are enabling people to stay distracted with texting while driving ? Ridiculous.
Now you got me wondering when the last time a cars 12V socket has been used to actually light a cigarette 😂
@@SUPRAMIKE18 cars dont come with cigarette lighters anymore haven't for about a decade the outlet is still there but not really used for lighting things on fire anymore
@@TWEAKLET last car I've actually seen the lighter piece was in a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage.
Theres ways to charge phones even without cables in many cars, ways to connect phones to the car for music and otherwise, ‘make sure to grab cellular phone’ reminders on the dash or touch screen radio, Apple car play and other options…. But dont you dare use your phone and drive or txt and drive or distract yourself while driving. Thatd be bad m’kay
Cars have evolved many layers to prevent theft. Gun manufacturers don't do $h!t to make guns safer. Totally affirmative action.
"Citizen are allowed to carry a firearm." Is that so hard to understand?
Is it irony that the city spokesman claims Glock knows how to fix the problem but won't, while Chicago politicians know how to actually fix the problem but won't?
A full-auto glock is a terrible idea and has probably saved lives with the inaccurate fire that comes with a full-auto handgun.
I was going to make the very same comment, 07.
Some cop did get smoked by one a few years ago. 15 rounds center mass. But he was standing straight in front of a wooden door serving a warrant for a violent offender, so... Darwin Award?
The full auto glock being the weapon of choice may have saved some of the intended targets lives, but it also undoubtedly has cost many bystanders their lives
@@jimmyconway2800 this is the one
legit was just thinking this
Im glad it’s not just me
The absurdity of calling a hand gun a weapon of mass destruction, no matter how modified, is off the charts.
Is the gun made from refined uranium? Maybe antimatter?
I was just gonna comment the same thing. They are making it equal to a nuclear weapon. They are on completely different scales of damage. Nuclear weapons will wipe out a city a Glock with a switch can't fully take out a door.
But, but, 1200 rounds a minute!!! Nevermind they never say a 30-round magazine is the biggest you can get for a Glock… unless you modify one for belt-feeding. Which would be bad-ass. 🤣
@@vincedibona4687you can get 100-round twin drums but no one is using those except to look cool at the range
I think you can call any weapon a weapon of mass destruction you just have to count together all the deaths caused by them.
Like millions of people got killed by swords throughout history. Or one of the most prominent one the AK-47 must have killed millions in the last century and continues to kill people up to this day (I really liked the movie Lord of War). But do I think they should be banned for it? Hell no lock away the people who use it to bring others harm then one day we might not need guns anymore because all the criminals are locked away. Weapons are a tool used by humans with its only use is to kill someone. Which doesn't make it less of a tool like a hammer. A hammer, in the wrong hands; can still be used to kill someone. While a gun in the right hands can be used to save someones live.... by taking another.
I have never, nor will EVER, support any decision that has come out of Chicago. Not all people are bad, and not all bad people are from Chicago, but as far as politicians go, it's enough to make me not want to live in that state.
Of those 1100 blocks with the illegal switches how many of the people who were in possession of said illegally modified guns are now behind bars for breaking the law
I would LOVE to see an answer to this question!!!
Obviously, less that 25% if you listened to the point of the video. The point was Chi town isn’t prosecuting gun law violations any where near often enough. Nor is it keeping those accused of violent offenses behind bars while awaiting trial, because it’s “inconsiderate” to put someone in an overcrowded jail. UNLESS of course a law abiding citizen uses a firearm to protect themselves or their families.
Another waste of time from Illinois.
An even better question: How many of them were released early on previous charges or weren't charged for previous crimes?
None
Another perfect example of blaming the TOOL instead of blaming the FOOL!
So they refuse to prosecute the criminals, and now decide to 'combat' crime by going after manufacturers. Amazing.
He said it all. He wants people to feel safe. Not be safe. There's a big difference.
Close... the real problem for him is that the cops no longer feel safe, that's the people he's actually trying to protect, not the people.
Calling a modded Glock "a weapon of mass destruction" is absolute buzzword buffoonery 😅
If an anti gun group brings a frivolous lawsuit like the one against Glock then the gun company should counter sue them for 10 times the amount that the anti gun group was seeking and put the anti gun group out of business.
"Why are they suing Glock?" Because Chicago officials do not want to address the real problem.
I don’t think I quite understand. “Machine guns” are already illegal so how would a so called criminal get their hands on one in the first place? Makes no sense to me.
we going to start suing car manufacturers for DUIs and drunk driving?
are we going to sue dunkin for obesity fatalities?
Don't forget drive bys

Pretty sure they already did that… 😂
My dad was sued frivolous by a well off guy. It was constant in and out of court up until the judge said that’s enough. Made the guy pay 60k in my my dads lawyer bills. Hope Glock can counter sue.
Perhaps the problem is rooted in the type of gentlemen featured in 'glockumentary', not the glock itself
It's rooted in the type of gentlemen who enjoy subverting societies
Why not just sue dry cleaners for putting clothes on wire coat hangers, which can be made into auto sears? This is beyond absurd.

Sueing Glock for switches makes as much sense as sueing Mossberg for sawed offs or sueing every ar-15 manufacturer for those key cards, smh
they recovered 1100 switches. how many nfa charges did they hand out? that's 11,000 years of jail time that will never be served by real criminals commiting crimes.
Apparently they're not the problem. It's a manufacturing problem. Always blaming the wrong people.
And Glock doesn't even make the switches!
1000%
Zero, they handed out Zero and you know why.
Math.
If Glock doesn't Sue back and make an example out of Chicago. Then we know which side Glock is on.
As soon as the suit against Remington was allowed to proceed based on "marketing" I knew it was going to be the new angle of attack from the antigun lobby.
Chicago's lawsuit against Glock over switches they don't even produce feels like blaming car manufacturers for reckless driving. It's a misdirected attempt to hold a company accountable for illegal actions.
It’s like suing Ford because people put slicks on and crash.
Chicago is looking at suing Kia over the cars being 'handicapped accessible'
Stolen cars crashed all over the place
Can they not just change the Glock to where it’s not acceptable to switches anymore?? All these comments and nobody even brought this up. Same with kia being able to be hacked just change it so it won’t easy to break in.
Nothing that anti gun does really doesn't make any sense.
thats like suing car manufacturers for random people speeding, so stupid
So a suspect allegedly committed a felony by manufacturing and then selling the machine gun conversion device.
Then a different suspect allegedly committed a federal felony to modify the pistol with the machine gun conversion.
Then the suspect allegedly committed further felonies with the firearm.
So let's sue Glock...
Maybe we should sue Chicago for failing to properly investigate and prosecute serious felonies.
Internal investigation found no wrong doing of any kind
Any government agency or employee that uses the term “weapons of mass destruction” should be dismissed.
it would be funny if these people werent in positions of power
Right? The left used to openly laugh at people who used that term, thanks to Bush. Now they just clap like seals when their overlords use it for their gun control agenda.
Chicago should sue liquor companies for drunk drivers!
Any semi auto can be modified for full auto. Depends on modification needed. Stetchkin uses even rate dropper for 9x18.
I really don't like the idea of government saying you're not allowed to alter your personal property with third-party items "in the interest of public safety"... that is something that won't stop at firearms.
Chicago: A Criminal's Paradise!
You know what this is like? It's like if people were suing Mustang because people modify their cars with Nitris Oxide and used them for drag racing.
Isn't "Glock" a trade-marked name?
Shouldn't Glock Gmbh be suing the city for mis-use of their trade-name...?
What a laugher! Chicago worried about firearm safety. Take focus away from their horrendous murder rate by focusing on a gun manufacturer who isn’t even responsible for the non problem.
Iron pipes from the hardware store can easily be converted into shotguns.🤷🏽♂️

So? The number of switches being used in crimes far exceeded any homemade gun. That being said, Glock should not be held responsible for this.
"Weapon of mass destruction". LOL I'd say Chicago laws and handling of criminals fits the description better than Glocks with switches
Could the companies counter sue or would that not help? Im from europe so my legal knowledge is limited...
Can I Sue Glock for not selling my Glock pistols with that option? Or do I sue the Government for not allowing Glock to sell me the Glock pistols with all the “quirks and features”.

Glockenspiel should demand these to be considered slapsuits meaning California would have to pay for their lawyers
Blaming Glock for your short comings is lunacy.
I wonder when people are gonna start suing knife manufacturers for stabbing assaults and deaths or car manufacturers for drunk driving accidents and vehicular homicides. 🤔
Look across the pond for your answer.
"A weapon of Mass Destruction"... I didn't know a Glock switch turned bullets into mini nukes. I guess you could say it's massively destructive, since you aren't going to be hitting shit with that thing that you intend to.
>Weapon of Mass Destruction
Didnt know glock was making nukes
Because they don't want to arrest, prosecute, or sentence actual criminals.
Easy solution - Glock, or any other manufacturer being sued, tells what ever state that "no more law enforcement sales in your state if even one municipality files a suit." No more sales to police. Ever. All other manufacturers raise law enforcement prices by 75%. Problem solved.
Nope, 200% seems right to me!
Wouldn't have much leverage with Chicago since the officers purchase their own handguns from gun stores.
They'll never do that... those sales contracts are usually worth millions, and often times they have a service contract that's worth even more that span over a few years. Too much money, their best bet is to win this lawsuit and then sue the city.
@@h2oGrunt And if they lose, those contracts won't cover the cost .
@@douglasrizzo9210 It is a gamble, but if they lose, then we all lose since the control freaks will try to use this judgement to push the same bs across the US.
need to hold Chicago and every other city responsible for their actions with how they handle criminals and the prosecution of crimes instead of blaming a gun manufacturer for criminals making idiot decisions.
Fatality drop prolly attributed to gangster style aiming, or lack there of, with an uncontrollable gun.
The real question is why wouldn't this case simply be thrown out of court without so much as a hearing.
Nothing happening in Chi-raq is the responsibility of Glock.
So they can’t hold accountable the criminals. So punish the manufactures. So will they sue pharmaceutical companies for people overdosing or selling drugs. I doubt it.
That pharmaceutical company example just reminded me of the fictional universe of Resident Evil, a.k.a. Biohazard. Umbrella corporation acts in the similar greedy way. 😅
Yes they did sue pharmaceutical companies. The sackler family, the people who made oxycontin, paid billions. So you're using a bad example.
Correction: they COULD hold criminals accountable but they don’t want to. This has nothing to do with keeping people safe. It’s about taking down the gun industry.
@@R-Lee- who was making the fake vaccines? fake because they had to change the definition of what a vaccine is to be able to call them that lol. can you sue them for damages or did they just give them amnesty against being sued?
They sue pharmaceutical companies all the time and win. There's no burden of evidence required to sue them. That is why our drugs in the US cost so much. In countries with socialized medicine, you can't sue your provider, the hospital or anything related to the pharmaceutical or the person that prescribed the wrong drug and killed your loved one. They get their meds for a LOT less money as a result. They're not the ones causing so much cost, so that cost is not spread to them like it is in the US.
Suing gun manufacturers for crime is like suing automobile manufacturers for car accidents.
Weapon of mass destruction are bombs with very high energy explosives or fallouts: nuclear, dirty bombs, and chemicals.
This was a law and order episode back in the day where NY tried finding a gun company liable for their guns being easily converted. Even law and order lost the case and they write their own scripts cause they knew it was a BS suit.
3:18 that segway into the sponsor was smoother than it deserves to be 😀
I don't understand how a gun company can be sued for something a person did by their own choice .. that so stupid
They still don’t seem to understand that criminals don’t follow laws 🤦🏾♂️
Take responsibility for allowing your city to become a sh!t hole. Sue the criminals that acquired their weapons illegally, give them prison time, and make example out of them. Im sure the majority of the people using the Glock switches shouldn't be allowed to own a firearm in the first place.
Would you believe that good lawyers will argue the criminals right to bear arms? Go look at the Second Amendment
An automatic pistol would be a very bad choice as a weapon of mass destruction. They would get less than 2 seconds of firing before having to reload, and the pistol probably wouldn't stop firing after a few magazines.
They should sue cutlery companies for selling knives with sharp edges.
They don't have to manufacture the knives with a cutting edge.
They could then sue them for other companies making tools to sharpen those knives.
It's totally ridiculous!!! What are these idiots going to do next??? Sue automobile manufacturers because of drunk drivers???
Whats the joke??..
suing Hustler magazine for giving me carpal tunnel
Who is leaving the crates of automatic weapons in alleys, in Chicago?
