A new ban on Glock handguns takes effect in California, starting July 1. The law will, once again, remind Americans why California has become the ultimate legislative laboratory for aggressive gun control.
Firearms dealers across the state will no longer be permitted to sell new Glock handguns or similar models that state lawmakers have aggressively reclassified as a form of machine gun.
The justification behind this radical pivot is that these pistols can supposedly be modified easily with illegal, aftermarket conversion devices that fundamentally alter their rate of fire.
But rather than focusing energy and resources on the criminals who manufacture, distribute or use those illicit conversion switches, California has chosen a completely different route.
The state has decided to restrict future retail access to the Glock, the most popular handgun in America, punishing law-abiding citizens for the actions of criminals. It is the legislative equivalent of banning the Honda Civic because someone used one as a getaway car.
The sheer irony of this legislative maneuver is impossible to ignore.
During the 2024 presidential campaign, former Vice President Kamala Harris publicly boasted about owning a Glock herself for personal protection, even telling interviewers that anyone breaking into her house was going to be shot.
If she still owns it, she’s legally untouchable. Existing owners remain unaffected by the new regulations.

“The justification behind this radical pivot is that these pistols can supposedly be modified easily with illegal, aftermarket conversion devices that fundamentally alter their rate of fire.”
Why not just make it illegal to install aftermarket conversion devices? Oh wait...there’s already a FEDERAL law about that. And this law will be just as effective.
The “Glock switch” is just a fun thing for showing off at the range!
Kali-Fornia gun grabbers have no interest in that law!
It is always about confiscation and denying the Second Amendment!
That's the insanity of it.
Just wax a few cops who try to enforce it and they will stop.
It isn’t going to have any effect.
>>The law is obviously unconstitutional and will be struck down
And they will simply pass another one. Every CA politician that helped put this law in place needs to be prosecuted under 18 U.S. Code § 242 .
Yes you can.
Bruen fixed a lot of the ccw bs here.
Santa cruz county, san benito county and probably monterey county hand them out like candy.
I had one when I lived in Campbell in santa clara. Local pd issue. Was only good when I lived in campbell so It lapsed since I moved to San jose. County is a long wait but they are issuing them.
Why is Glock being singled out? Those devices can be used with many other handguns and almost any AR/AK and a boatload of other rifles. They are fun. I mean, they look like they would be fun.

Thx. I will have to look into it again! Im now in Santa Clara county- San Jose- and heard it’s been pay to play.
Pay to play is how it was. Thats why the old female sheriff ended up in court.
Bruen changed that.
County is easier then SJ. SJPD is stonewalling while county is backlogged.
“Existing owners remain unaffected by the new regulations”
The same as the criminals, right?
Their Glock ban is just more proof that their gun laws don’t work to stop bad people from doing bad things.
