Quote:
The gun control lobby's campaign against Glock is being waged on a couple of different fronts. There's the legislative side, where groups like Everytown for Gun Safety are pushing bills to ban the sale of Glock handguns like the one recently signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Then there's the litigation side, where gun control groups are aiding cities and states that are using the courts to block the sale of some of the most popular handguns in the country.

The cities of Chicago, Baltimore, and Seattle have all sued the gunmaker, claiming its responsible for the illegal conversion of Glock handguns into full auto machine guns. The states of Minnesota and New Jersey are  pursuing a similar strategy, and this week a county judge in the Garden State rejected Glock's motion to dismiss the case, allowing the lawsuit brought by Attorney General Matthew Platkin to continue.

Glock had offered a number of arguments as to why the case should be dismissed; the lawsuit violates the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, the New Jersey statute used to go after Glock is also an unconstitutional infringement on the Constitution's Commerce Clause as well as the First and Second Amendments, and is also "impermissibly vague, subjecting manufacturers to liability based on subjective standards of 'reasonableness' without clear notice of prohibited conduct, thus encouraging arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement.

Essex County Superior Court Judge Lisa Adubato denied each and every one Glock's claims. I won't quote every reason for her denial, but this was particularly interesting given the Supreme Court's unanimous decision earlier this year throwing out Mexico's lawsuit against U.S. gunmakers seeking to blame them for cartel violence.
