Gavin Newsom Signs Glock Ban Bill Into Law

AB 1127 bans sale of Glock pistols from July 1, 2026, to prevent illegal conversion to automatic firearms using prohibited Glock switches, officials said.

  • Gavin Newsom, California governor, signed AB 1127 into law on Friday, banning many Glock handgun sales in California on Friday.
  • Supporters cited concerns about 'Glock switches' and a shooting by a violent criminal released early under Newsom policies as key reasons for the bill.
  • The law focuses on design features like the cruciform trigger bar mechanism and treats new pistols meeting this as 'machineguns,' affecting Glock G17 and G19 but not current owners.
  • The National Rifle Association vowed legal action, promising to sue over the ban, and analysts expect a short-term surge in Glock purchases by firearm buyers in California.
  • As part of a wider package, AB 1127 joins AB 1078 and SB 704, with supporters saying these close loopholes but many expect constitutional challenges in federal courts and similar bills in the New York legislature.
