Ellison to announce litigation against company in firearms industry on Thursday
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is expected to announce what his office is calling “significant litigation” against a major company in the firearms industry on Thursday.
As of this publishing, Ellison’s office hasn’t said which company is involved in Thursday’s announcement, which is set for 10 a.m. However, as reported in March by 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, Ellison was among a group of 13 attorneys general who had notified Glock of a possible lawsuit in a letter, which said it was easy to turn pistols into machine guns.

This isn’t the first time Ellison has taken legal action against companies he believes have violated state gun laws. Previously, he filed a lawsuit against Fleet Farm, which is currently set for trial next May.

During a press conference, Ellison announced his office would be filing a lawsuit against GLOCK for its semi-automatic guns, which he says can be easily modified to become machine guns.
“GLOCK has known about this problem for decades and has done nothing,” Ellison said. “A change of design could prevent these handguns from being turned into illegal automatic weapons, but Glock has turned a blind eye.”
Ellison argued that GLOCK has continually ignored the threat that modifications like glock switches and machinegun conversion devices (MCDs) pose on their firearms.
