Assembly Bill 1127 fundamentally shifts firearm regulations by prohibiting licensed dealers from selling some of the most popular semiautomatic handguns on the market.
By focusing on how certain handguns are built, lawmakers want to stop people from easily turning standard pistols into fully automatic weapons.
What we know:
The legislation specifically introduces a new legal classification: “machinegun-convertible pistols.”
Lawmakers drafted this category to address handguns, most notably Glock-style pistols, that feature trigger mechanisms capable of being converted into fully automatic firearms with relatively simple, aftermarket modifications.
For consumers, the immediate impact is restricted to retail environments.
Licensed firearm dealers must cease all sales of new inventory that falls under this classification.
