Gov. Gavin Newsom was just given his first handgun. A pending California bill would ban selling new Glocks like the ones Kamala Harris owns. Will he sign it?

Switches are still illegal…
A bigger concern is FRTs and “super safeties” on rifle platforms especially if loopholed into “pistol” category
Those are literally more effective than “real” automatic fire because they’re more controllable and you can actually hit what you’re aiming at.
And are 100% legal federally. And I’m pretty sure in every state.
Cali has outlawed frt:

Not sure about “super safety” I think that might be the “Cali compliment” since they already had bans for binary triggers which applies to other triggers. And that is leaving the trigger and adjusting the safety to replicate full auto without changing the trigger.
The justification for banning Glocks under this bill is that they readily accept switches. Which is dumb, of course.
Several states broadly ban the sale/possession of “fire rate accelerating devices”…the usual suspects, CA, NY, NJ, MA…it’s broad and vague, but it’s enough that retailers of these items won’t sell to people in those states.
To be clear:
Only gen 3 is legal in Cali
This would take Gen 3 off the list, but Glock is already making a new one (gen 6?) that is incompitable with switches and Cali compliant.
Used sales of Gen 3s will still be legal.
As far as I’m aware, literally the only reason new Gen 3s are made is Cali’s list.
And all the Gen 3 clones… I’d be surprised if any made it onto Cali’s list, so nothing is changing there.
Like, this just isn’t a very big deal…
Anyone want to start a pool on the time until someone creates a gen 6 switch?
