🇺🇸 Chicago Blames Glock Gun Company for City's Violence
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.
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.
