Making its way across the media and internet is Kamala Harris’s admission that she owns a handgun, and now we “know” (allegedly) what that handgun is. A Glock.
Forget the fact that the gun she owns is likely (or a version of it is) banned in the state of California for civilian use due to it not being on the state approved handgun roster, there’s another wild fact that makes Kamala’s Glock ownership extremely hypocritical, and it has to do with her current role as VP.
In 2023, the Biden White House established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. In a nutshell, it’s just allowing gun control groups (such as Everytown For Gun Safety) to have a direct and close path to get what they want with the executive branch. Here’s from the press release:
Tomorrow, President Biden will announce the establishment of the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to reduce gun violence, which has ravaged communities across the country, and implement and expand upon key executive and legislative action which has been taken to save lives.
The new Office of Gun Violence Prevention will be overseen by Vice President Harris, who has been a been a key leader in the Biden-Harris Administration’s effort to end our nation’s gun violence epidemic. Stefanie Feldman, a longtime policy advisor to President Biden on gun violence prevention, will serve as Director of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, alongside leading gun violence prevention advocates Greg Jackson and Rob Wilcox, who will join the Administration as Deputy Directors of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
Two names are highlighted, Kamala and Rob. Kamala for obvious reasons, Rob because he is formerly of (prior to this role) Everytown For Gun Safety. Just last week, Rob celebrated the 1 year anniversary of the office on his LinkedIn page:
So what does any of this have to do with Glock? Well, with the help of Everytown For Gun Safety, the City of Chicago is suing Glock because their pistols are, well, “unsafe and too easily converted illegally to machine guns”.
Chicago, IL — On July 22, 2024, the City of Chicago, represented by the Chicago Law Department, Everytown Law, and Motley Rice LLC, expanded the City’s first-of-its-kind lawsuit against Glock, Inc.
First filed in March 2024, the City’s lawsuit alleges that Glock unreasonably endangers Chicagoans by manufacturing semiautomatic pistols in such a way that they can be easily converted into illegal machine guns in a matter of minutes with a cheap quarter-sized device called an “auto sear.” This illegal conversion allows the pistol to fire at a rate as fast as, or faster than, many U.S. military fully automatic firearms and machine guns. Although auto sears are not manufactured by Glock, they are so frequently used on Glocks that they are commonly known as “Glock Switches” and often have the Glock logo on them. The lawsuit alleges that the design of Glock’s handguns–unlike other popular handguns–makes them uniquely susceptible to easy modification to allow for automatic fire. Despite knowing for decades about this danger, and that Glock could take reasonable steps to fix the problem, Glock has chosen not to in order to maximize sales and profit.
The City also seeks to hold accountable two Chicago-area gun stores on Glock’s roster of preferred dealers, Eagle Sports Range in Oak Forest and Midwest Sporting Goods in Lyons for their role in endangering Chicagoans by manufacturing, selling, and/or marketing easily modified Glocks to Chicago consumers. Midwest Sporting Goods has consistently ranked in the top two dealer sources of crime guns into the City since at least 2009, and Eagle Sports Range has soared to be a major supplier of Chicago’s crime guns, despite only opening in October 2016. The lawsuit alleges that both gun stores know that Glock pistols are easily and frequently modified into illegal machine guns and yet continue to market and sell Glock pistols into Chicago. Midwest Sporting Goods also deceptively markets Glocks as safe, but stays silent about auto sears. Eagle Sports Range takes it even further, by marketing a Glock handgun clearly equipped with an auto sear in videos posted on the store’s social media accounts, which customers can demo at the store’s indoor range.
The lawsuit also names Glock Ges.m.b.H, the Austria-based parent company of Glock, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary. The Austrian parent company works hand-in-hand with its U.S. subsidiary and plays a significant role in every aspect of the design, manufacture, and promotion of Glocks in the U.S., and also uses its U.S. subsidiary to distribute its easily modified pistols.
It’s a stupid and frivolous lawsuit. Now, through recent investigations with Rep James Comer, it appears that the VP’s office of Gun Violence Prevention has coordinated with Everytown to go after Glock. It’s serious and substantiated enough to warrant a subpoena:
The ATF director is now even being pressed on it:
Is Kamala so clueless and incompetent that her OWN OFFICE is helping with a lawsuit against Glock because HER OWN PISTOL is too dangerous? Appears so lol!!!
