This video discusses Glock's recent actions perceived as 'bending the knee' to gun control. It highlights Glock's support for anti-2A legislation in Oklahoma, the implications of California's AB1127 banning machine gun convertible pistols, and Glock's upcoming 'Glock V' model designed to prevent conversion devices.
