"Gun rights groups filed a federal lawsuit challenging California's ban on Glock-style pistols with features allowing attachment of illegal machine gun conversion devices. The law signed by Gov. Newsom prohibits semiautomatic pistols with "cruciform trigger bars" that enable switches converting guns into rapid-fire weapons. The lawsuit claims the ban violates the Second Amendment; the devices have been used in mass shootings including a 2022 Sacramento shooting."
"The law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last week, prohibits the sale of semiautomatic pistols with a "cruciform trigger bar" - a feature that allows gun owners attach a device commonly called a switch that boosts the weapon's firepower and converts it into a machine gun capable spraying dozens of bullets in a fraction of a second."
""Newsom and his gang of progressive politicians in California are continuing their crusade against constitutional rights," John Commerford, executive director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement. "They are attempting to violate landmark Supreme Court decisions and disarm law-abiding citizens by banning some of the most commonly owned handguns in America.""
California enacted a law banning sale of semiautomatic pistols with cruciform trigger bars that allow attachment of switch devices converting them into machine guns. The ban targets Glock-style handguns and similar models with that feature. The law was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Gun-rights organizations including the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, Firearms Policy Coalition, and Second Amendment Foundation filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Plaintiffs include individuals and small businesses. The lawsuit alleges the ban violates the Second Amendment and contends it effectively prevents acquisition of commonly owned handguns.
