CAL: Glock Ban Passes Legislature

[Lawdog Dago Dom]

California Legislature Passes ‘Glock Ban’ | The Reload

[Blackwater 53393]

Was there ever any doubt??

Probably has an exemption for Leo.  Then they can sell them and make lots.  Amazing that they go after Glock, yet Glock didn’t invent the switch.  
 

better not tell them about forced reset triggers.  Those are becoming the thing to have now.  A machine gun without being a machine gun.  Most pistols can be converted, so if the law doesn’t call out Glock by name only, most semi autos will become illegal.

The law doesn't call out Glock specifically, it calls out "semiautomatic machinegun-convertible pistol."  I think Glock owners are calling it a Glock ban, but I think it's aimed at all semiauto handguns.  The bigger the net, the happier the lawmaker.

Took a look at the actual text. Departments are exempt, but individual officers are not expressly exempted. Also personal purchase is not exempted, only for official use:

 

(2) The sale of a convertible machinegun-convertible pistol to a police department, sheriff’s office, marshal’s office, district attorney’s office, the California Highway Patrol, the Department of Justice, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or the military or naval forces of this state or of the United States for use in the discharge of their official duties.

Interesting, if that means an officer can’t buy them, that will make for some unhappy cops.  I bet it gets changed if it’s signed into law as it would mean no cops can buy a semi auto.   Only an issued duty weapon.
