GOC Opposes AB 1127
Assembly Bill 1127 (Gabriel) is a thinly veiled attempt to ban Glock handguns, by prohibiting so-called “convertible pistols”. By redefining semi-automatic pistols as “convertible” simply because they could hypothetically be modified, AB 1127 sets a dangerous precedent for future gun bans.
GOC firmly believes that AB 1127 is nothing more than a disguised prohibition on one of the most widely used and trusted firearms in the world. Glocks are carried by law enforcement, military personnel, and responsible civilians across the country due to their reliability and ease of use. By specifically targeting the firearm’s potential for modification, this bill unreasonably affects potential Glock purchasers and restricts access to one of the most popular handguns available. This is a clear indication that this legislation is not about safety.
California’s restrictive handgun roster already prevents the sale of modern Glock models that are designed to be incompatible with so-called “Glock switches,” yet AB 1127 further punishes legal firearm purchasers by limiting their choices while criminals will continue to operate without regard for the law
