Gaston Glock, founder of the brand widely known for its popular pistols, has passed away at the age of 94 years old, his company has indicated.
"Gaston Glock not only revolutionized the world of small arms in the 1980s, but also succeeded in establishing the GLOCK brand as the global leader in the handgun industry. His internationally renowned GLOCK Perfection stands for uncompromising quality and maximum customer satisfaction," the company stated on its website. "Gaston Glock charted the strategic direction of the GLOCK Group throughout his life and prepared it for the future. His life's work will continue in his spirit."
The company was founded in Austria and has a subsidiary in the U.S. that is located in Georgia.
"In the early 1980's, the semi-automatic GLOCK service pistol was born in response to meet the needs of the Austrian military. It's polymer frame and the developed SAFE ACTION® System revolutionized the pistol market," the company says.
In 2011, Glock and his wife of decades divorced, and the octogenarian wed a 31-year-old, according to the New York Times, which also reported that he had been a conscript in Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht at the end of World War II.
"Been carrying a @GLOCKInc for decades. My Family says thank you Gaston Glock for bringing me an others home safely," Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, who is currently running for a U.S. Senate seat in Arizona as a Republican, tweeted.
"Rest in Peace to a legend, Gaston Glock," the National Rifle Association tweeted.

Biden’s Latest Anti-Gun Claims Aren’t Just False — They Don’t Even Make Sense
Biden's most recent anti-gun claims during the National Safer Communities Summit are false, incomplete, and incoherent.Mockery erupts over photo of an incredibly decrepit-looking gun that the Toronto Police Service took '#offthestreets'
Social media users have been mocking a tweet that features the photograph of an extremely decrepit gun that the Toronto Police Service in Canada has apparently removed from the streets.
The @TPSGunsSeized Twitter account, which is described as the "Official Toronto Police account for all guns seized," posted the photo of a pistol that has likely seen better days — the tweet included text that read, "#offthestreets this week."
Mockery has abounded and the tweet has garnered thousands of replies and retweets.
"Off the streets of where? Atlantis?" someone quipped in response to the post.

"The streets of Pompeii?" someone else tweeted.
"By streets you mean the bottom of a river?" another person wrote.
Another tweet suggested that "the streets" referred to the fictional undersea town of Bikini Bottom from the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants."

"The streets of Toronto are now safe...from tetanus," another tweet said.
"The Toronto Police are really on the ball. I thank them for taking this weapon of mass destruction #offthestreets!" someone else tweeted, along with a laughing emoji.
"The group of criminals that this weapon was taken from," another person tweeted along with an image of the monstrous crew of the "Flying Dutchman" ship from the "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."

"Everyone's making fun of this but it shows a great deal of skill and care on the part of Toronto police. Not many people would be able to set up this photo without the gun crumbling to dust in their hands," another tweet declared.
Earlier this year, the Toronto Police Service raised eyebrows by posting about a "Missing Woman," while including the photo of a bearded man. A press release, which no longer appears to be available online, had stated, "She is described as 5’10", with a thin build, shaggy blonde hair, and a full goatee."

Lawsuit pushes for permitted individuals to be able to carry pistols at Minnesota State Fair
A lawsuit lodged by the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and two individuals demands that people who are permitted to carry a pistol be allowed to do so while attending the Minnesota State Fair which is slated to begin later this month.
In addition to the group, the plaintiffs include two individuals who plan to attend the state fair. One of those plaintiffs is identified in the suit as a member of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. The suit names as defendants Ramsey County, Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher and the State Agricultural Society.
According to the Associated Press, the suit contends that the State fair, which is run by the Minnesota State Agricultural Society, is subject to state laws that let people with permits carry their guns into the State Capitol and other public locations. The AP noted that the society's authority is derived from state statutes but that the society and the fair do not get public funds.
Documents filed in the suit included a July letter from a law firm representing the State Agricultural Society, which appeared to be a response to a June letter from counsel to the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus.
"The State Agricultural Society has the obligation and the authority to impose rules and policies that prioritize the health and safety of fairgoers," the letter noted. "To that end, the State Agricultural Society has consistently maintained the policy that private citizens may not bring weapons onto the fairgrounds during the fair."
Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher said in a statement that the State Agricultural Society determines the admission policies, according to KARE 11.
"The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office has law enforcement responsibility inside the State Fairgrounds once attendees have entered one of the public gates," Fletcher said.
"The State Fair does not comment on pending litigation," a Minnesota State Fair spokesperson said, according to KARE 11. "We will maintain our time-honored Minnesota tradition of peaceful, family-friendly fairs by protecting the safety and security of our guests."
