The lawsuit demands Glock take steps to prevent its guns from being modified into machine-gun-like weapons capable of firing 120 rounds in one minute .

Small, easily installed devices known as “auto sears” or “switches” that are growing more common have terrified law enforcement because they enable high-powered violence not seen since 1934 .

The lawsuit is the first to test Maryland ’s new Gun Industry Accountability Act.

In 2023 , a person opened fire on Baltimore officers with a drum-style magazine allowing larger bullet capacity, along with an assault rifle.

Baltimore police said about half of those arrested in modified Glock incidents in the city were under age 21 .

Maryland attorney general says Glock has been on notice for years that some of its pistols can be converted to automatic.
