Re: Chicago sues Glock due to criminals installing fire selectors on them

Everytown's lawyers are involved in this case.
13. Through this lawsuit, Chicago seeks an order enjoining Glock from continuing to
sell its easily modifiable pistols to Chicago civilians via its website and Illinois gun stores that
serve the Chicago market. The City also seeks an assessment of fines against Glock for each day
that it continues to violate MCC § 2-25-090(a), as well as damages for the harm that Glock has
knowingly and foreseeably caused to the City.3
REQUEST FOR RELIEF
Wherefore, the City requests that the Court grant judgment in its favor, as follows:
i. Enjoining Glock from marketing and selling pistols that can easily be converted to
fully automatic to Chicago non-law-enforcement consumers via its website and Illinois gun stores
that serve the Chicago market;
Note that Chicago is the plaintiff, but the Request for Relief includes a ban on the sale of Glocks at FFLs in Illinois that "serve the Chicago market."

Yep. There are numerous third parties that develop components to all sorts of products from cars to yes guns, but why on earth would any company be held liable for what another company designs to fit their product.

Exactly. We can expect more of this type silliness from the dems.

There are so many aftermarket Glock products, I'm not surprised one or more slipped through using the Glock logo and at least one is an auto sear. Chicago has a big drug and crime problem which they call a gun violence problem.
Yeah a travesty, dems misuse any statistic.

The way these cases are brought up is absolutely ridiculous. The republicans are doing the same for immigration, abortion and a few other right wing interests.

As expected, on June 10 Glock filed a motion to dismiss.

Unexpected, however, is that Glock filed a notice to AG Raoul that it intends to file a challenge to have portions of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (815 ILCS 505) declared unconstitutional, "because it interferes with interstate commerce, is unconstitutionally vague, and violates the Second Amendment."

Chicago: Let's file a frivolous lawsuit to bankrupt Glock.
Glock: Challenge accepted.
Raoul: WUT?
On July 22, Chicago filed notice to dismiss the case voluntarily.

VooDoo
Tyrants disarm the people they intend to oppress. Hope is not a Plan.

Dot 'em if ya got 'em!

Agree. The bloomie everybusybody crew needs to pay up.
