California is advancing a bill to prohibit the sale of new Glocks and their off-brand counterparts, making it the first state to enact such a ban. The bill follows incidents involving illegally modified Glock-style handguns linked to high-profile shootings. Despite gun rights advocates claiming Glock has redesigned models to prevent compatibility with illegal modifications, these new models are not recognized by California's list of permissible handguns. As actions against Glock switches increase in various states, the situation reflects ongoing debates surrounding gun control regulations.
A pending California bill would prohibit selling new Glocks and their various off-brand imitators. This would mark California as the first state to ban the gun.
Illegally modified, fully-automatic Glock-style handguns have been linked to several high-profile shootings, including a 2022 gang gunfight in Sacramento.
More than two dozen states, including California, have already banned Glock switches, showcasing a growing push against modified firearms.
If Governor Newsom were to keep a Sig Sauer legally in California, he would need to navigate stringent regulations, including a background check and a waiting period.
