Legal Troubles for U.S. Based Firearms Manufacturers
Rules for thee, but not for me. This should be the official motto of the left.

This phenomenon is not exclusive to individual rights, however, as these groups have long since used lawfare against the firearm industry, unabashedly declaring that if they cannot have their way legally, they'll simply bankrupt businesses through misuse of the judicial system. In the last week, attorneys general for Minnesota and New Jersey filed conspicuously similar lawsuits against firearms manufacturer Glock while also joining fourteen more attorneys general to collude in a multistate coalition aimed at attacking the entire firearms industry.
Let's start with actions filed against Glock. Minnesota and New Jersey claim the manufacturer's firearms are too easy to modify illegally, violating state law.
