In the news again today, apparently 13 state AG's (all from the same political party) have signed a letter expressing their interest in the lawsuit.

Also in the reporting of this is the statement that the Chicago lawsuit admits that the "Glock Switches" are coming from China.

Get that point? From China, not from Glock. SO WHY is Chicago suing Glock and NOT SUING CHINA????

I realize the real world answer is probably "because they can" and "China won't care about our lawsuit", but in legal terms, why is CHINA not being sued for what they are DOING and Glock is being sued for something they DID NOT DO???

Is it a Chicago thing? or something else??

another point is that how is it ok for the Fed govt to approve something as legal and a city sue the maker because they feel differently??

I am past sick and tired of the govt (at any level) deciding a product is legal and then years later, with no change to the product, rule that it isn't.

Bump stocks and pistol braces, and now, apparently Glock pistols come to mind...
