Frequently Asked Questions

Which firearms are facing bans in 2026?

Several popular firearms are facing bans or restrictions in 2026, including the Mossberg 590 Shockwave, FN SCAR 17S, Taurus G3/G3C, Zastava ZPAP M70, Beretta M9, Mossberg 930 SPX, Daniel Defense DDM4, Sig Sauer P365 series, Ruger Mini-14 Tactical, and Glock 19/17, depending on the state.

Why are firearms like the FN SCAR 17S being banned?

The FN SCAR 17S is targeted due to its military heritage, detachable magazines, adjustable stocks, and threaded barrels, which lead state lawmakers to classify it as an 'assault weapon' under their specific definitions, resulting in sales and transfer bans.

What is the main reason for magazine capacity restrictions on handguns like the Taurus G3?

Handguns like the Taurus G3 and G3C are affected by magazine capacity limits in states like Rhode Island and Washington because they often come with magazines holding more than the legal limit (e.g., over 10-15 rounds), impacting their utility for concealed carry and self-defense.

How are Glock 19 and 17 handguns being banned in California?

California's Assembly Bill 1127 bans Glock 19 and 17 handguns by focusing on the 'cruciform trigger bar,' which legislators claim can be modified with 'Glock switches' for full-auto conversion. Glock has stopped selling Gen 3 models to California due to this legislation.
