New York Glock Ban Hit With Federal Second Amendment Lawsuit

Summary

A federal Second Amendment lawsuit, *The Firing Pin, LLC v. James*, has been filed in the Western District of New York, challenging the state's new 'convertible pistol' ban (Chapter 55, Laws of 2026). The lawsuit, brought by The Firing Pin, New York gun owners, NRA, FPC, and SAF, argues the ban on Glock and Glock-style handguns, set to take effect for sales on May 31, 2027, violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendments by targeting common firearms based on potential illegal modifications.
