California Bans Glock and Similar Semi-Auto Pistols

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law banning the sale of new Glock handguns in the state, aiming to prevent the modification of these guns into fully automatic weapons using a device called a 'Glock Switch.' The law does not ban possession or resale of used Glocks, but aims to pressure Glock to redesign their guns to eliminate the modification potential. The legislation was passed along party lines and is part of California's broader efforts to tighten gun control.
