How about someone investigate negligent politicians? They have harmed far more than any single gun ever could.

Healey is an ideologue. She is ignorant regarding firearms.

I’m pretty sure Virginia doesn’t even recognize accidental discharge. I believe all unintentional discharges are classified as negligent, and subject to, at a minimum, review by te local prosecutor.
Contrary to Hillary's insistence, firearms manufacturers are not immune from lawsuits regarding liability for defective design. SOURCE. However, they are protected against lawsuits pertaining to the firearm operating the way it's designed to; that's why organizations such as the Brady bunch and VPC are outraged that they are specifically prohibited from twisting the law in that manner. It keeps tort lawyers from monster liability payoffs such as the tobacco companies were tagged with.
However, firearms manufacturers are responsible for matters of defective design and quality control - there is a current lawsuit against Century Arms in that regard. The question here is if the state lawyers can manage to talk the judge into allowing them to critique the basic design of the Glock trigger and decide whether it is sufficiently safe according to standards they intend to set on the spot. That strikes me as stretching it even for a liberal court and highly subject to overturn upon appeal, but I'm not an attorney nor do I play one on FR.
I’m not a huge Glock fan, but I do own one, a G30.
From my experience, it shoots every time you pull the trigger, and does not shoot when you don’t pull the trigger. I may not be a lawyer, but I fail to grasp the legal standing for a lawsuit.
I am well aware of that alleged problem, although it's "negligent" and not "accidental", and that is why I own a Glock as my home-defense weapon. Loaded Glocks go "bang" every time you pull the trigger, and I like that feature. I do not recommend Glock to people who refuse to follow basic firearms safety, since Glocks are prone to negligent discharge in the hands of fools, but I recommend them strongly to people who never, ever do dumb things with their firearms.
Maura Healey is a demented woman with a sub-standard intellect who has taken it upon herself to violate both ststute law and the constitution in her one-woman campaign loudly and visibly to hate firearms.
Like several Massachusetts Attorneys-General before her, she cares nothing for the legislative process and chooses to rule by fiat in the face of massive popular opposition.
This is a women who would be right at home in Russia, China, Vietnam, or Cuba.
is that a vote or how you carry your GLOCK?😁
So 0.01% are unexplained? No relationship to a trigger pull. Seems like that would qualify as dangerous.
A lot less dangerous than taking a shower in the morning
