Videos tagged with Glock Switch Ban

Glock is discontinuing most of its models, replacing them with a new 'V series' designed to prevent manipulation by auto-sears ('Glock switches'). This redesign is legally significant, primarily addressing California's Assembly Bill 1127, which defines 'machine gun convertible pistols.' The new design, by altering the trigger bar mechanism, aims to comply with the bill's exclusions for firearms not readily convertible to machine guns. Furthermore, this redesign is unlikely to harm Glock in ongoing lawsuits alleging public nuisance, due to Federal Rule of Evidence 407, which prevents the use of subsequent remedial measures as evidence of negligence or defect.

The Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee has advanced four gun control bills, including measures on undetectable firearms, universal background checks, red flag confiscation orders, and Glock switch bans. These bills, passed along party lines with all Democrats voting in favor and Republicans opposed, are moving to the full House floor. The committee also considered and rejected an amendment for constitutional carry and did not advance a bill limiting handgun purchases to one per month due to a single Democratic dissenting vote.

California Assembly Bill 1127 proposes to ban the sale of semi-automatic pistols that can be readily converted into machine guns using a 'pistol converter' and a 'cruciform trigger bar'. This legislation, if enacted, would effectively ban many popular handguns, including all Glock models, by redefining 'machine gun' to include these convertible pistols. The bill aims to prevent the use of devices like Glock switches by targeting specific firearm components.
