Governor Gavin Newsom, Governor of California, signed a law prohibiting the sale of one of the most popular types of manual weapons in the US.
The Law of Assembly 1127, which the authors are of the members of the State Assembly, Jesse Gabriel, D-Ecino, and Catherine Stefani, D-San Francisco, were signed by Governor on October 10.
The law prohibits the new “semi -automatic handmade weapons that can be easily turned into a completely automatic machine gun using a simple” switch “,” “” said Gabriel’s office report.
It includes Glock -made hand weapons, as well as similarly designed pistols that use a “cross -forming rod”, which, according to legislators, allows them to be easily converted into a completely automatic fire.
Special Agent Kenton Weston has two Glock handmade gun slides, one with a machine gun conversion switch, right, and the other without a demonstration due to the risk of devices, which causes manual weapons to be fully automatic at the Canton Police Department in Canton, Tuesday, 2024. July 23
What is banned in the new law?
The law that comes into force on January 1st provides firearm vendors from the sale of GLOCK -style handmade arms.
This includes exceptions to law enforcement officers and private weapons sales will remain legitimate.
Sellers will be allowed to sell glock -style weapons they received until January 1st.
Why are Glocks banned in California?
The authors of the law say that while the easy Glock -style handmade weapons were turned into machine guns for decades, firearms manufacturers failed to resolve it.
“Although most handbags’ weapon designs cannot be modified in this way, several custom manufacturers whose weapons can be modified have refused to adjust their design to prevent modification,” the Gabriel Bureau said in a statement.
“As parents and lawmakers, we refuse to stand without work until our schools and communities are at risk of illegal machine guns,” he said. “These common sense laws will ensure that the arms industry is responsible and that we do our best to protect our communities from mass shootings.”
Stefani agreed.
“Let’s name what it is: reckless greed from weapons manufacturers who know their products can be turned into illegal machine guns,” she said. “AB 1127 says it is enough. If these companies do not transfer their weapons to protect our communities, California will make them accountable.”
I could not immediately contact GLOCK representatives to comment on AB 1127 signed by law.
Critics Calculates California Glock Insurance
Proponents of the second amendment said they were planning to challenge AB 1127 in court.
“The Governor Newsom has once again proved that the California political class will stop without filling in peaceful people and their rights,” a statement issued by the Fire Weapons Policy Coalition said. “AB 1127 is an unconstitutional, bad faith attempt to ban some of the most common firearms in the US.”
“However, no tyrant, no politician and no state will ever be allowed to extinguish the rights of free people. Not now.” Never, “the report said.
“FPC and our legal team have been preparing a challenge for AB 1127 for months,” the report said. “We and our allies will soon move to eliminate this illegal and immoral insurance in the Federal Court. The Constitution, not Gavin Newsom, defines the limits of government power. We will make sure he will find out that lesson again. “
