Firearms Regulation
California enacts ban on new Glock handgun sales
Reported by AI
Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1127 into law, prohibiting the sale of Glock handguns in California starting July 1, 2026, due to their potential for illegal modification into automatic weapons. The legislation follows a 2022 mass shooting in Sacramento where a suspect used a modified Glock. The move has prompted Glock to update its product line for compliance.
