Ellison announces litigation against GLOCK for “easily converted” gun design

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced what his office is calling “significant litigation” against a major company in the firearms industry on Thursday.

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.
