The lawsuit follows similar cases brought against Glock in Chicago, Minnesota and New Jersey. They accuse the company of failing to protect the public by selling firearms that can be adapted with dime-sized switches to spray continuous gunfire — up to 1,200 rounds per minute — instead of firing one bullet each time the trigger is pulled.
