Today @Everytown Law + the city of Chicago announced a historic lawsuit against @GLOCKInc to hold them accountable for the unconscionable decision to continue selling its easily modified pistols even though it could fix the problem. By refusing to do so, it is exacerbating gun violence in Chicago.

Federal officials recently contacted Glock to discuss implementing new ways to modify Glock pistols to make it harder for Glock switches to be installed. Rather than help, Glock has falsely insisted there is nothing they can do.
The lawsuit alleges that Glock unreasonably endangers Chicago residents and communities by continuing to sell a firearm that can easily be modified to an illegal machine gun, in violation of state and local law.
The complaint also alleges that selling a weapon that can be so easily converted to an illegal machine gun and failing to take reasonable steps to prevent or mitigate the problem, is an unfair business practice, is negligent, and creates, maintains, and contributes to a public nuisance.
