DOJ threatens to sue California over 'Glock ban,' arguing law violates Second Amendment

The Department of Justice (DOJ) warned California it would sue state officials over Assembly Bill 1127, a law banning the sale of 'machinegun-convertible pistols' including Glocks, arguing it violates the Second Amendment. The law, set to take effect July 1, reclassifies Glocks as convertible to machineguns due to their trigger mechanisms, but allows existing owners to retain their firearms. The DOJ demanded California halt enforcement, acknowledge the law's unconstitutionality, and agree to a court-enforceable consent decree.
