Just plain stupid.
New Jersey attorney general Matt Platkin (D) was ridiculed on social media after bragging about filing a lawsuit against Glock handguns.

Breitbart News
reported that New Jersey attorney general Matt Platkin and Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison (D) are leading a coalition of 12 other attorneys general and the District of Columbia in litigious action against Glock.
The suit is over the criminal use of switches that convert semiautomatic Glock handguns into fully automatic firearms.
Glock does not make the switches, and their use in the United States is already illegal, but the attorneys general claim Glock needs to change the way their guns are made so that the switches will not work.
Platkin announced the lawsuit on X on December 12, 2024,
writing: “I just sued Glock to put the homemade machine gun industry out of business. The days of an Austrian company putting profits ahead of the safety of American residents and law enforcement officers are over.”
The National Shooting Sports Foundation commented on the lawsuit,
noting, “Attorneys General Platkin and Ellison and the other colluding states ignore the fact that these devices aren’t produced by GLOCK, Inc., or any other firearm manufacturer,” the Foundation said. “In fact, they are largely illegally imported from China or illegally manufactured by criminals. GLOCK, Inc., has actively cooperated with federal, state and local law enforcement to combat this illegal activity.”
