Gunmakers, including Glock, face scrutiny as 12 states and Washington, D.C., investigate the ability of Glock pistols to be converted into machine guns. The states allege that Glock makes and sells deadly weapons 'in reckless disregard for public safety.' Lawsuits against the industry have been dwindling, with a recent bill potentially dealing a final blow to the last one standing.
