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 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.
