AG Anthony G. Brown and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, alongside Everytown Law and Motley Rice LLC, filed a lawsuit against Glock, Inc., the manufacturer of handguns most frequently recovered in connection with crimes, alleging that Glock is facilitating the proliferation of illegal machine guns on the streets of Baltimore and across Maryland. The lawsuit also names Glock Ges.m.b.H, the Austria-based parent company of Glock, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary. The lawsuit alleges that Glock unreasonably endangers and harms public health and safety in Maryland by manufacturing and selling to Maryland civilians semiautomatic pistols that can easily be converted to illegal machine guns with an auto sear – a cheap, small device commonly known as a “Glock switch.”
