Frequently Asked Questions

What is Maryland's SB334 law targeting?

Maryland's SB334 law targets semi-automatic pistols that the state deems convertible into machine guns using a converter device. While Glock switches are already illegal, this law is interpreted by gun rights groups as an attempt to ban common Glock-style pistols based on their design.

Why are gun rights groups suing Maryland over SB334?

Gun rights organizations like the NRA, Firearms Policy Coalition, and Second Amendment Foundation are suing Maryland, arguing that SB334 effectively bans ordinary citizens from purchasing or transferring common semi-automatic handguns. They contend this infringes upon the Second Amendment's protection of commonly used arms.

How does Maryland's law compare to California's AB 1127?

California's AB 1127, passed in 2025, also targeted semi-automatic pistols easily convertible with Glock switches. While not a direct confiscation, it restricted new sales through licensed dealers, effectively acting as a ban on new Glock pistols. Maryland's law appears to follow a similar pattern of restricting popular handgun platforms.

Are Glock switches already illegal?

Yes, Glock switches, which convert semi-automatic pistols to full-auto fire, are already illegal under federal law. They are treated as machine guns, and possession, sale, or use is prohibited. The concern with laws like Maryland's SB334 is that they target the firearm itself, not just the illegal accessory.
