Feds sue California over ‘Glock ban’

The U.S. Department of Justice sued California over a 2025 law banning semiautomatic machine gun-convertible pistols, including most Glock and Glock-style handguns. The DOJ argues the ban violates the Second Amendment, citing a Supreme Court decision requiring regulations to align with historical firearm traditions. The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, prohibits sales of such firearms, which can be converted into fully automatic weapons using devices like the 'Glock switch.'
