Minnesota and New Jersey filed separate lawsuits on Dec. 12 accusing gun manufacturer Glock of knowingly selling semiautomatic handguns that can be easily transformed into illegal machine guns through an inexpensive device commonly called a “Glock switch.”

Both states argue that Glock has long been aware of the switchability of its firearms, yet the company has not taken adequate steps to prevent these dangerous conversions.
