"A trio of Second Amendment rights organizations filed a lawsuit Monday in San Diego federal court challenging a new state law that Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Friday that bans the sale of semi-automatic handguns that can be easily converted into submachine guns with the use of a device commonly known as a Glock switch. More than half the states in the U.S., including California, already"
"The small device attaches to the back of a Glock or Glock-style handgun and interferes with the gun's internal trigger components. This converts the gun from semi-automatic, when one round leaves the gun each time the trigger is pulled, to fully automatic, meaning it fires continuously when the trigger is pulled back and held. Federal law already outlaws most automatically firing weapons, which it defines as machine guns, as well as Glock switches and other similar conversion devices."
Three Second Amendment rights organizations filed a lawsuit in San Diego federal court challenging a California law that bans the sale of semi-automatic handguns that can be easily converted into fully automatic weapons using a device commonly known as a Glock switch. The law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, takes effect July 1 next year and specifically bans semi-automatic handguns with a trigger bar that permits easy conversion, a restriction that plaintiffs say effectively bans most Glock pistols. The lawsuit contends banning weapons in common use violates the Second Amendment. California Attorney General Rob Bonta is the named defendant. Glock switches can be purchased online or 3D-printed and federal law already bans many automatic-conversion devices.
