A top congressional investigator is now looking into allegations that the Biden White House is colluding with wealthy anti-gun activists to cut off the domestic supply of firearms through coordinated lawsuits against gunmakers, such as Glock.
“House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is investigating the Biden Administration about its potential collusion with anti-Second Amendment plaintiffs and the City of Chicago on a lawsuit against Glock, a firearm manufacturer,” a statement from the Oversight Committee announced.
The lawsuit against Glock, which appears to have been launched with closed-door assistance from the White House, is part of a larger plan to evade the Second Amendment by using nuisance lawsuits to cut off the supply of private firearms.
“The plaintiffs are seeking to financially penalize and restrict the continued operation of Glock for illegal, aftermarket alterations being made by criminals to the firearm after they have been lawfully sold,” the statement reads.
“In letters sent to the White House Office on Gun Violence Prevention Director Stefanie Feldman and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Director Steven Dettelbach, the Chairman requests certain information, documents, and communications from both entities,” Comer announced.
“The City of Chicago recently filed suit, in cooperation with Everytown Law, a pro-gun control organization, claiming Glock, Inc. has willfully sold pistols that can be converted into fully automatic weapons and is seeking financial damages as well as other punitive remedies.” wrote Comer.
“The suit claims Glock has turned a blind eye to the alterations criminals make to many models of their pistol in violation of the National Firearms Act of 1934 and abetted these criminals by continuing to produce their pistols as is. By this logic, the government could accuse nearly any manufacturer of liability for illegal alteration or misuse of their products,” Comer continued.
“The Oversight Committee has learned that the White House met privately with representatives from Glock, during which the Administration requested Glock change their pistol design with a focus on making it harder for auto-sears to be installed,” the statement revealed.
“On the very day the suit was filed, Everytown for Gun Safety President John Feinblatt tweeted ‘Federal officials recently contacted Glock to discuss implementing new ways to modify Glock pistols to make it harder for Glock switches to be installed. Rather than help, Glock falsely insisted there is nothing they can do,’” the statement further reveals.
“Because this was a private meeting between Glock and the White House, Mr. Feinblatt seemed to have inside access to the White House meeting which raises questions about collusion with your Office. And rather than aggressively prosecuting criminals, government agencies are colluding with anti-gun interest groups to cripple a manufacturer who sells a legal product in a highly regulated sales market,” wrote Comer.
