Gov. Gavin Newsom signs law banning Glock pistols in California

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law banning sales of one of the most popular types of handgun in the United States.

Assembly Bill 1127, authored by state Assembly Members Jesse Gabriel, D-Encino, and Catherine Stefani, D-San Francisco, were signed by the governor on Oct. 10.

The law bans new sales of "semi-automatic handguns that can be easily converted to a fully automatic machine gun with the use of a simple 'switch,'" according to a statement from Gabriel's office.

It covers handguns manufactured by Glock, as well as similarly designed pistols, that use a "cruciform trigger bar," which lawmakers said makes them easily convertible to fully automatic fire.
