Chicago Sues Glock Over Criminals’ Illegal Modifications
Citat:As Chicago continues to rack up L’s in its battle against crime, the city has decided on a new target. No, they are not announcing an anti-gang strike force or improving the courts and correctional system to keep criminals off the streets. Instead, the city is suing firearms manufacturer Glock.
The suit is a response to unlawful third-party modification with so-called auto sears. These small parts are bought illegally or self-manufactured via 3D printing, then swapped into a firearm in place of the factory-designed parts. When installed, they convert a semi-auto firearm to select-fire, with choice of semi-auto or full-auto firing capability.
In the U.S., full-auto firearms are highly regulated and ownership requires a background check, paperwork and fees. Obviously, criminals aren’t doing all that, and illegal full-auto conversions of semi-auto designs are commonly used by criminals. Chicago’s law enforcement officers say they’ve confiscated more than 1,100 modified Glock pistols since 2021. However, take note that despite being singled out by Chicago, Glocks are not the only semi-autos that are converted in this fashion.
