"The high‐capacity Glock pistol stands as a stark example of the gun industry’s marketing of increased lethality. Since the mid‐1980s, increased fire power and capacity have defined the products of the gun industry—of both U.S. and foreign manufacture. Glock Pistols and Mass Shooters Glock pistols have been part of the arsenals of the some of the most infamous mass shooters in the United States, including: the 2015 attack at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, that left nine dead; the 2011 attack at a Safeway in Tucson, Arizona, that left six dead and 13 wounded—including then‐U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords; and, the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting which left 33 dead and 17 wounded."
