The war against gun rights, despite recent election results that demonstrated the will of the people to protect the Second Amendment, continues unabated.
Fourteen state attorneys general and the District of Columbia filed suit against esteemed gun manufacturer Glock last week. The popular handgun maker is targeted because criminals illegally misuse switches to convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic weapons.
These tiny devices are “autosears.” Under federal law, they are already illegal to produce, import, or possess and may not be attached to a firearm.
This federal prohibition falls under the 1934 National Firearms Act (NFA).
Again, they are already quite illegal.
Glock does not make these switches and condemns their use in modifying its products. However, this is not enough to appease anti-gunners who want nothing less than to drive the industry into the ground.
Condemnation from defenders of the Second Amendment was swift and decisive.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the industry trade association, mocked the obviously frivolous nature of the lawsuit. The organization noted the posturing by New Jersey AG Matt Platkin (D) and Minnesota AG Keith Ellison (D).
“Attorneys General Platkin and Ellison and the other colluding states ignore the fact that these devices aren’t produced by GLOCK, Inc., or any other firearm manufacturer,” the NSSF explained. “In fact, they are largely illegally imported from China or illegally manufactured by criminals. GLOCK, Inc., has actively cooperated with federal, state, and local law enforcement to combat this illegal activity.”
The House Oversight and Government Accountability Committee is already investigating the murky origins of the lawsuit.
Pro-Second Amendment congressional leaders are concerned that there was collusion between the state AGs and the controversial White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel, blasted the lawfare against a constitutionally protected industry.
“This is clearly an abuse of the courts to attempt to circumvent the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA),” he noted. “Attorneys General Platkin and Ellison, along with the other colluding states, are attempting to extend the frivolous claims that have no foundation in law and abuse taxpayer dollars to advance an unconstitutional gun control agenda.”
The PLCAA was established in 2005 as federal law to prevent the aggressive filing of meaningless lawsuits against the weapons industry. Cities and states opposed to the Second Amendment attempted to squeeze gun manufacturers out of existence using virtually unlimited taxpayer dollars.
These suits were arbitrary and served no purpose but to grind the industry down.
Platkin echoed the sentiments of his fellow plaintiffs when he explained their twisted logic. “For decades, Glock has knowingly sold weapons that anyone with a screwdriver and a YouTube video can convert into a military-grade machine gun in a matter of minutes.”
The New Jersey AG forgot to mention that the switches and attaching them to a handgun are already illegal.
Breitbart News reported that Not the Bee, a satirical X account, took great pleasure in reposting criticism of the lawsuit against Glock.
One commentator proclaimed, “It takes a special kind of stupid to publicize a case that you have a 100% chance of losing.”
Another noted that Glock does not manufacture these illegal switches, meaning the lawsuit is actually “lawfare” and “malicious prosecution.”
Using taxpayer dollars, of course.
Still another user recommended that “taxpayers in your state should seize all of your personal assets to pay for the tax dollars you are wasting in an obviously frivolous lawsuit.”
No one ever accused the anti-gun lobby of being particularly intelligent, though they are persistent. Now it’s time for Second Amendment advocacy organizations to step up and support Glock in their fight to remain in business.
If not, the AGs will only be emboldened to go after other constitutionally protected weapons manufacturers.
