AG Ellison announced that Minnesota has prevailed against Glock’s attempt to dismiss Minnesota’s lawsuit against the handgun manufacturer. On December 12, 2024 Attorney General Ellison announced that he was suing Glock for manufacturing, marketing, and selling semi-automatic handguns that Glock knows can easily be converted into illegal machine guns with a device known as a “Glock switch.” Glock moved to dismiss the State’s complaint, and the Court heard oral argument on Glock’s motion on May 23, 2025.

“Glock has been sacrificing the safety of Minnesotans to turn a profit for too long. I am pleased the Court is allowing our lawsuit against Glock to move forward, and that it rejected Glock’s motion to dismiss in full. Today’s ruling puts us one step closer to ensuring Glock can no longer flood Minnesota with handguns that can easily be converted into illegal, fully automatic machine guns. I will continue working with law enforcement to prosecute people who put others’ lives in danger, and I will continue working to hold corporations accountable when they manufacture and sell products that also put people in harm’s way.” – AG Ellison
