Newsom’s New Glock Law Sparks Legal Battle
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, joined by Assemblymembers Jesse Gabriel and Catherine Stefani, has enacted a law banning sales of certain Glock-style handguns, with exemptions for law enforcement and existing dealer inventory. Gun rights groups have criticized the measure for its restrictive nature, indicating plans to challenge the law in court. Gabriel said the law aims to push manufacturers to redesign cruciform trigger-bar systems that can be converted for automatic fire. Stefani stated, “AB 1127 says enough is enough. If these companies won’t redesign their weapons to protect our communities, California will hold them accountable.”
The Firearms Policy Coalition
said, “But no tyrant, no politician, and no state will ever be allowed to extinguish the rights of a free people. Not now. Not ever.”
The Firearms Policy Coalition added, “FPC and our legal team have been preparing a challenge to AB 1127 for months. We and our allies will move swiftly to strike down this unlawful and immoral ban in federal court. The Constitution
– not Gavin Newsom
– defines the limits of government power, and we will make sure he once more learns that lesson.”
