Maryland is close to passing Senate Bill 334, which would ban the commercial sale of 'machine gun convertible pistols,' effectively targeting firearms with a cruciform trigger bar, including most Glocks. The bill, if enacted, would prohibit manufacture, sale, purchase, receipt, or transfer of these firearms after January 1, 2027, though possession of pre-existing firearms would likely be grandfathered. The legislation aims to prevent conversion into machine guns using pistol converters, which are already unlawful. The bill's passage is considered highly probable, and gun owners are advised to stock up before the effective date, with transfers to immediate family members still permitted.

Assembly Bill 1127, colloquially known as the 'Glock Ban Bill,' introduces new prohibitions in California targeting 'machine gun convertible pistols' defined by specific internal mechanisms like a cruciform trigger bar. This legislation aims to ban the sale of new handguns that can be illegally modified to fire automatically, typically via the installation of a switch. It's important to note that such conversion kits and modifications are already illegal under existing California multi-burst trigger activator and machine gun restrictions.

Assembly Bill 1127, often called the 'Glock ban bill,' introduces a new prohibition in California for 'machine gun convertible pistols.' While conversion kits are already illegal, this bill adds an extra layer of restriction. Importantly, it does not make existing handguns illegal to possess or use, nor does it prohibit private party sales. However, it does ban the sale of new handguns subject to this restriction by dealers starting January 1st, 2026.

This video breaks down key California firearm laws taking effect in 2026, including Assembly Bills 383, 1263, 1127, and 1078. It covers changes to procedures for prohibited persons, new requirements for firearm accessory sales and transfers, restrictions on 'machine gun convertible pistols' like Glocks, and updates to CCW eligibility and firearm purchase limits.

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.

California has passed AB127, a bill that effectively bans the sale of 'machine gun convertible pistols,' which is broadly interpreted to include Glocks, starting January 1st, 2026. The bill defines these as semi-auto pistols with a cruciform trigger bar that can be converted to full-auto with common tools and a 'pistol converter.' While the bill includes exceptions for firearms already at FFLs before the deadline, those sold to law enforcement, and transfers for repair, it creates a felony offense for possessing such converted pistols. The legislation also highlights California's ongoing efforts to regulate firearms through specific design requirements like micro-stamping and mag disconnects, which Glock models currently do not meet.

California Senate Bill 1127, termed the 'Glock ban bill,' proposes to ban firearms with a cruciform trigger bar, impacting hundreds of models. The bill introduces ambiguous definitions for 'firearm component' and 'reasonably designed or intended,' raising constitutional concerns. Amendments made late in the legislative session bypassed standard committee scrutiny, limiting public recourse. While the bill aims to remove specific firearm models from sale, its broad language and procedural irregularities are being challenged by legal experts and advocacy groups.

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.

This video discusses California's Assembly Bill 1127, which aims to ban 'machine gun convertible pistols' by prohibiting licensed dealers from selling semi-automatic pistols that can be readily converted into machine guns using a 'pistol converter.' The bill targets firearms based on striker-fired technology, often associated with brands like Glock, and defines a pistol converter as a device that replaces the back plate and interferes with the trigger mechanism. The discussion highlights concerns that the bill is a 'gun grab' that goes beyond existing laws prohibiting machine gun conversion and could impact a wide range of popular semi-automatic pistols.
