To show my support of Glock, just picked up another.
Will buy a 17.5 if chiraq continues.

The problem, and the source of these sorts of actions, is not that they're stupid. It's that they are corrupt to their rotten core. We fail to recognize this at our severe peril.Just another example that stupid knows no limits!!!
And while their at it bring suit against the federal government for not deporting all illegal aliens.Maybe someone needs to bring suit against Chicago for not prosecuting illegal activities
Twenty thumbs-up to you.And while their at it bring suit against the federal government for not deporting all illegal aliens.
Ought to expand that to read: “modified OR stolen” !Got a simple fix. You get caught using a modified Glock in a crime you get death penalty. Won't happen but I'd bet it would help.
I support an enhanced penalty of a mandatory 3 years for EACH shot fired in a criminal act, 10 years for a Glock switch, 15 years for being a felon in unlawful possession of a firearm. We don't want these kinds of folks out in public so keep 'em locked up.Got a simple fix. You get caught using a modified Glock in a crime you get death penalty.

How about we give ordinary citizens the same protections as officers? If I'm murdered it should be the same penalty as a cop is murdered unless you think cops deserve to live more than I do. And if you can newly manufactured automatics, we get newly manufactured automatics.I support an enhanced penalty of a mandatory 3 years for EACH shot fired in a criminal act, 10 years for a Glock switch, 15 years for being a felon in unlawful possession of a firearm.

These kinds of penalties focus on criminals and criminal acts, not law abiding citizens.
Also, federalize the crime of murdering a law enforcement officer employed by any state that accepts federal money for law enforcement, and make the crime punishable by death at the federal level. My state effectively abolished the death penalty. The maximum sentence is life without parole. Some offenders shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, even if it's a Top Ramen from the prison commissary, after committing a serious crime.
Chicago's contention is that Glock made a pistol that is easily converted to automatic fire.
By easily, I mean a drop in part, or auto sear. It looks to me like you could make a similar part for other striker fired guns. So why single out Glock?"Easily" is subjective and would be impossible to draw the line. Imagine trying to codify this in a regulation? If this case is found for Chicago, then what semi-auto manufacturer couldn't be found liable even if there aren't any "switches" for their model. Any gun whose action is easy to strip could be sued. If I were Chicago and won, then I'd go after AR manufacturers next.
I don't think governments have the power to bring civil lawsuits. NYC used it against a GA gun store. No criminal charges mind you.
As soon as the cops approach the jackass, he will try to pull the gun out of his pants, end up putting 15 rounds through his own nether regions, problem solved.Right, like "look at this, this fool just posted this video of himself shooting an illegally converted FA Glock, let go sit on his Aunties house for 2 hours and wait for him to show up with it tucked in his waistband".
It's a waste of time and unnecessary risk for the LEO since the prosecutor isn't going to touch him, more likely you just open yourself up to a lawsuit. It's why cops stopped doing their jobs in Baltimore, the guys would get cut free within an hour and their departments were constantly in court defending the arrest.
The Feds can only force states to do things when states agree to take Federal money. Murder falls under state jurisdiction unless it's a Federal employee on offical business. Allowing the Feds to prosecute cop killers and apply the death penalty circumvents woke states.How about we give ordinary citizens the same protections as officers? If I'm murdered it should be the same penalty as a cop is murdered unless you think cops deserve to live more than I do. And if you can newly manufactured automatics, we get newly manufactured automatics.
Also, it should be just as illegal to stab someone as shoot someone- or to shoot someone with a particular gun. Unless of course, you agree the gun was the real problem in the first place.
If the anti-gunners that brought this suit had 1/2 a brain, they'd be...........1/2 wits!Chicago has a history of blaming others for their failed policies which have led to it being a crime ridden city. The most common thing I heard when living there was the failure of neighboring states to have more stringent gun laws leads to an influx of guns into Chicago from those states. It is of course a bunch of hog wash. Given that I'm not sure why I was surprised to see that they're now suing Glock for their violent crime problems. Apparently someone at Glock made the decision for Chicago to not prosecute violent criminals, refuse to offer a school voucher or choice program so lower income kids have to attend gang infested schools where they learn little and have no future, etc. It's a frivolous lawsuit and should be dismissed, but the fact that this was filed in Cook County makes me wonder how far it'll go.
Chicago Sues Glock for Felony Misuse of Its Pistols - The Truth About Guns
◀Previous Post Next Post▶ Glock has been selling reliable, accurate, basically bomb-proof polymer-framed, striker-fired pistols in the United States for over 30 years.
