MD, Baltimore mayor target Glock for selling pistols that can be converted into machine guns
Fox News
The Maryland Attorney General and mayor of Baltimore City filed a lawsuit against Glock, Inc. for continuing to sell handguns that can be converted into machine guns.
"We will not allow the gun industry to turn a blind eye to grieving families and pursue profit over people’s lives. This case shows that our Office will hold members of the firearms industry accountable for their role in the gun violence epidemic," Brown said. "It is unacceptable for companies to distribute and market a product that they know can easily be modified to inflict terror on communities across Maryland."

Brown and Scott allege in the lawsuit that Glock endangers and harms public health and safety in Maryland by manufacturing and selling semi-automatic pistols to Maryland civilians, which can easily be converted into machine guns with an auto sear, which is a cheap, small device most commonly known as a "Glock Switch."
