    Thirteen Democrat Attorneys General wrote a letter to renowned gun maker Glock, noting Chicago’s lawsuit against the company and expressing concern over “machine-gun Glocks.” Minnesota’s Islamist/Communist Attorney General Keith Ellison is now “investigating” and will almost certain sue several auto makers because his black constituents find their cars “easy to steal.” He’s not prosecuting car thieves; he wants to sue car makers for marketing entirely legal products, for “tempting” them to do what they would do regardless. Ellison doesn’t have anything on Chicago and thirteen other blue state attorneys general. They’re threatening to sue iconic gun maker Glock because the...

The suit is the first to use Illinois' new Firearms...

His rise began in the 1980s when the Austrian military was looking for a new, innovative weapon. Up until then, the Glock company had made military knives and consumer goods including curtain rods. But he assembled a team of firearms experts...

    President of the National Assocation of Police Officers and Boston Police Officer Thomas Nee is a member of Vice President Joe Biden's gun control task force, which was created by President Obama in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Nee's son, Joseph Nee, was convicted in 2008 for planning to commit mass murder of students and teachers at Marshfield High School in Massachusetts, similar to that of Columbine in 1999. After spending nine months in prison, Nee's conviction was upheld by the Supreme Judicial Court. Nee told police the plan involved taking ammunition and explosive devices into...

    A woman who was shot in a Brooklyn subway shooting that left 10 people wounded filed a lawsuit Tuesday against gun-maker Glock Inc. and its parent company, accusing them of fueling "a public nuisance" in New York and endangering public health and safety. Ilene Steur, the woman behind the federal lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of New York, was on her way to work when she was shot in the April 12 attack in which a gunman fired dozens of bullets aboard a busy subway train. In the lawsuit, Steur, 49, and her lawyers accuse Glock of marketing its...

    The gun used by the monster who opened fire on a crowded Brooklyn subway Tuesday jammed in the midst of the bloodshed — preventing him from causing more carnage, law enforcement sources told The Post. Investigators recovered the jammed Glock and two extended magazines at the scene of the shooting, which happened aboard a Manhattan-bound N train just as it was pulling into the 36th Street station in Sunset Park just after 8:20 a.m. “It was lucky that it jammed because we could be talking about a lot more people in hospitals or worse,” a law enforcement source said. “Dozens...

It started out as a submission for the military’s new sidearm, but it was passed on. The 19X was then made available for civilians to purchase where it’s enjoyed a favorable reception.

    This pistol is tiny. And of course, it was designed this way with concealed carry in mind. The Glock 43 is remarkably small and can fit in pockets (or a safe) nicely as well as ankle holsters and bags of all sorts. This pistol is the perfect size for really any kind of way you want to carry it, but it does have its limitations.

    A downside of the record sales in firearms is that the price of said firearms is also at record levels. For many, that could mean that you’re priced out of an AR-15 or a Glock handgun. While there are probably good options in “used” firearms, another option is to build one instead.

    While many Americans will go to any length to buy American and will choose a Smith & Wesson or Colt when it comes to handguns, just like many Americans swear by Ford and GM, there are those who prefer what the Europeans use. In the case of cars it might be BMWs and Mercedes. In handguns, it means Sig Sauer and, more commonly, Glock.

    The Epoch Times ^ | July 9, 2021 Updated: July 9, 2021 | REALCLEARINVESTIGATIONS
    Most police departments—including Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police—are required to release an officer’s name within days of a fatal shooting. Not the U.S. Capitol Police, which is controlled by Congress and answers only to Congress. It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely. Which is what happened with the Jan. 6 shooting of Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester in the U.S. Capitol riot who was fatally wounded by a plainclothes police lieutenant as she attempted to breach a set of doors inside the building. For the past six...

    These polymer, striker-fired handguns might not be Glocks, but they still go bang when you pull the triggerThe Glock 17 was introduced to the world in 1982. Though many questioned the pistol’s polymer frame and hammerless fire control system, it has become the most recognized and popular defensive handgun worldwide. It also spawned a plethora of copies. The Glock’s straightforward utilitarian style, combined with its reliability and ruggedness, has made it a favorite of law enforcement and armed civilians.But with the prices of some Glocks now between $700 and $800, they are more expensive than they’ve ever been. Because of...

    One of the most shocking things about gun-grabbing Democrats is their shocking ignorance about guns, legal gun owners, and gun culture. That ignorance was on display Sunday when David Chiu, a California assemblyman, was walking down the streets of San Francisco and discovered the abandoned packaging for a Glock. The horror! Except it wasn’t a Glock at all, something he would have realized if he’d read the packing or known anything about gun sales.
