I’m sure the actual criminals will follow the law
Gov. Gavin Newsom signs law banning Glock pistols in California
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law banning sales of one of the most popular types of handgun in the United States.
Assembly Bill 1127, authored by state Assembly Members Jesse Gabriel, D-Encino, and Catherine Stefani, D-San Francisco, were signed by the governor on Oct. 10.
The law bans new sales of “semi-automatic handguns that can be easily converted to a fully automatic machine gun with the use of a simple ‘switch,'” according to a statement from Gabriel’s office.
It covers handguns manufactured by Glock, as well as similarly designed pistols, that use a “cruciform trigger bar,” which lawmakers said makes them easily convertible to fully automatic fire.
The law, which takes effect Jan. 1, bars firearms dealers from selling Glock-style handguns.
There are a few others that use the cruciform trigger bar, but, primarily Glock, and their most popular models. A couple Smith And Wessons, some off brands. This is really more about Glock Derangement Syndrome. Does the People’s Republik Of California has stats on how many Glocks have actually been converted to automatic fire? Have there been any deaths or shootings attributed to a converted Glock? If the PRC is so concerned why not ban alcohol, which contributes to way more deaths. Let’s also not forget that back in 2018 California lawmakers made it easier for judges to remove gun enhancement charges in the interest of “social justice.”
Let’s also not forget that anyone who knows anything about firearms knows that pistols (indeed most weapons) are far deadlier on semi than full auto. Pistols in particular lose almost all accuracy when fired on full auto, not to mention ploughing through ammo. Automatic handguns may be popular in movies and TV, but, in Real Life, people who know guns shoot with two hands for control on semi-auto, and higher caliber needs control when pulling the trigger again and again. Auto would be a spray and pray, worse than a rifle.
Anyway, obviously law enforcement can still purchase, but, who’s going to be selling in the PRC after Jan 1? Glock cannot legally sell to PRC law enforcement, since it must go by law through a licensed dealer. Same if a LEO wants to go, say, to Nevada to purchase. What you can expect is for the sale of Glocks to skyrocket thru December 31. And then the PRC to manufacture a way to ban other semi-auto handguns.
Second Amendment proponents said they planned to challenge AB 1127 in court.
“Governor Newsom has once again proven that California’s political class will stop at nothing to attack peaceable people and their rights,” according to a statement issued by the Firearms Policy Coalition. “AB 1127 is an unconstitutional, bad-faith attempt to outlaw some of the most common firearms in the United States.”
“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 statement said.
In fact, the NRA and other gun rights groups sued the minute Gavin signed the bill.
