The real reason is about money not about "gun safety". Hawaii has a big government to feed as the tax base is shrinking.

This is what the Kamala Harris-lead anti-gun group Office of Gun Violence Prevention is doing.  They are getting the states to try and enact the proposals that have died in the US Congress.

Chicago filed this same lawsuit last month.  If the anti-gunners can get even 10-15 cities and states to file the same lawsuit, they hope the litigation alone will drive the company out of existence.

What this issue actually does is shine a spotlight on their tactics.  They can't stop criminals from making, selling, installing and using banned gun parts, so instead they go after the gun makers. 

Even if Glock spent the time, money and resources redesigning and retooling to prevent today's switches from being used, it is foreseeable the new design will be circumvented eventually.

In Vegas, the only way the slot machine industry was able to stop cheaters was to hope the police could arrest them -- i.e. stop the criminal.  Redesigning the machines just created another challenge for the cheaters, who seemed perfectly happy to do whatever it took to counteract new designs and technologies.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

This is very dangerous for everyone.  C&C wants to sue GLock because their guns can fit a Glock switch.  Even though, Glock doesn't make them, and said switches are classified as a "Machine Gun", which makes it illegal for almost everyone who owns one.

That's like suing Toyota because NOS can be installed and it kills someone due to the car going too fast.

HI passed this as state law last year, and now we're seeing why.  Even though this violates the federal protections that gun manufacturer's have.  The corporate counsel that C&C has is a moron, so I expect a much better lawyer to work "pro bono" (paid for by MDA/ET, etc...).

Glock has no choice but to fight this all the way becuase if they settle, then it's open season when CA, NY, and like counties/states do the same.  THen IHope they counter sue and get at least six figures.  Then they break all contracts selling Glocks to any LEO agency in HI.

This is why I like Larue Tactical, basically "if it's not legal for your voters to own, then we won't sell it to your LEO agency", is their policy.

I really wish Hawaii could at least be more original than to simply copy everything California tries...

It's nice how the C&C counts the testimonies and puts it online. So we don't have to do it.

Of course this is from the same city that sued oil companies because they caused climate change, completely missing the point that the petrodollars that they want to get paid in would become worthless because of their actions.

Rest assured, your tax dollars aren't being used.

You can thank Everytown and Giffords for that.
