      Baltimore, Maryland (CBS News) — Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott filed a lawsuit against major gun manufacturer Glock, alleging that the company violated the state’s Gun Industry Accountability Act and contributed to the gun violence crisis. 

      According to Mayor Scott, the city has seen an increase in Glock switches in the past few years. A switch is a device used to modify semiautomatic weapons, making them fully automatic. 

      “This is a growing threat to safety,” Mayor Scott said. “Those seeking to do harm in our communities are using these switches on easily modifiable Glock weapons to carry out criminal activity.”
