    Good evening everyone,
    As a law enforcement officer, I have observed a concerning increase in the presence of Glock switches in recent times. It is essential to acknowledge that Glock is not to blame for these switches being in circulation. Personally, I do not take a stance for or against these switches; my primary concern is ensuring that everyone is prepared to encounter a criminal who possesses one of these devices. Let's collectively prioritize safety and remain vigilant in our duties.

    The MN Attorney General Keith Ellison is suing Glock too for the same thing. Instead of going after those who commit crimes with guns like those thugs in his son Jeremiah's Ward (he's a City Councilman in North Minneapolis where a lot of gang violence happens) he goes after a company that isn't making auto sears. Another thing Ellison is doing is suing the car manufacturers of the most popular cars stolen in Minneapolis. Keith Ellison is a piece of work. When he was still the Minneapolis US Rep (prior to Rep Ilhan Omar) he beat up his girlfriend and was never investigated for it. He was the co-DNC Chair and was running for MN AG then. His son Jeremiah ran interference for him and made sure Minneapolis PD didn't investigate him.

He was shot 28 times by two gangbanging teenagers, because he refused to join their gang, they came to beat him up, and he beat both of them up instead in defense. One had a Tec-9, and another had a Mac(I can't recall if 10 or 11). They didn't care about the law. Suing Glock for something it doesn't even make, and because they don't make it harder to put a sear in, is stupid
