California Bans Glock

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.

This video discusses a new California law that makes handguns with a 'crucifix trigger system' illegal, which includes all Glocks and similar striker-fired firearms. The speaker argues the law's justification, based on the ease of converting these firearms to fully automatic using aftermarket parts like 'Glock switches,' sets a dangerous precedent. This precedent criminalizes possession based on the *potential* to break the law, rather than actual criminal acts, raising concerns about future restrictions on other items.
