TRENTON, N.J. – New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin has joined other states, including Minnesota, with legal steps to get Glock handguns off the street if equipped with switches to convert them into machine guns. Platkin said that Glock, an Austrian gun manufacturer, has knowingly sold weapons that anyone with a screwdriver and a YouTube video can convert into a military-grade machine gun in a fewf minutes. “Glock’s ownership sits in Austria lining their pockets with profits paid for by American bloodshed fueled by their products — and we are sick of it,” Platkin said. “Our message to Glock is clear: The days of putting greed ahead of the safety of our residents and law enforcement officers are over. Platkin thanked Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison for leading a multi-state push against weapons “that flout our public safety laws.”
