Haven't seen a thread on this. Seattle is suing Glock over the design of their pistols. The suit says Glocks design makes it to easy to use Glock switches to make their handguns fully automatic. Said switches are of course illegal. The little tab on back of slide is replaced to accomplish full auto fire. Seems Glock as a whole takes a beating from shooters that don't care for their firearms but not to extent this suit enjoys. Any thoughts?

So when do they sue all the car makers for producing cars that can exceed the speed limits? Or cars that can be driven by drunks? Cars that can be souped up for drag racing?

These anti-U.S. Democrats are exactly why the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act was passed. Given the Supreme Court a few months ago ruled 9-0 (!) that U.S. enemy Mexico cannot sue gun makers in America for the violence of their drug cartels, this "case" has no chance. I would jail all Democrats who even try to violate the PLCAA. Any expenses incurred by Glock must be billed to the taxpayers of Seattle.
 
CA hasn't bothered with a lawsuit. They're legislature is looking to ban all Glocks in the state, period.
I hope they start with their law enforcement agencies. If I were Glock, I'd invoke the "Ronnie Barrett Response," imposed on California for banning the Barrett .50 rifles for citizen use. ("Ban my lawful product against citizens? I'll cut off the supply of my product to your LEOs!") I honor Ronnie Barrett for that!
 
Seattle is another universe run by idiots and maniacs. Reality and reasonableness have no traction there. Government is all about feeling good about yourself and virtue signalling. Positive accomplishment is meaningless.
Absolute truth!
Leftists. They aren't worth my time, and the lawsuit will get thrown out eventually.
And in the mean time pay the lawyers out of the taxpayers pockets. The only reason for doing this is grift.

Unfortunately, the future already has plans for this. The Tesla for example can be remotely shut down. Some courts have already ordered breathalyzer cut offs installed for some folks and their cars.

Yes, judges/courts have the authority to decide if that is an appropriate part of the punishment for an individual convicted of driving under the influence. Personally, I have no problem with them making that part of the penalty for repeat offenders or for blowing an insanely high number on their breathalyzer or for the same on a blood test. In my view both of those constitute a flagrant disregard for the law and safety for others and themselves. Car manufacturers aren't installing them at the factory.

Any vehicle that has remote connectivity to the interweb and has an integrated "kill switch" can be shut down remotely if programmed correctly. You have a "remote start" feature on your car? It can also be used to turn your car off by anyone who has some basic computer skills. Back in the early 80's I knew an electronics tech where I worked that made himself a remote kill switch that was activated by a radio signal after his car was stolen. Wouldn't mind having one of those on my ride today. Only problem with radio frequency control is pathetic range.
