California Democrats are pushing a bill to ban law-abiding citizens from buying Glock handguns to prevent criminals from using 'Glock switches.' These switches, which are illegal, can convert a Glock into a machine gun. Chinese companies are flooding the U.S. with these illegal devices. The bill, AB 1127, targets Glock by describing it as a 'machinegun-convertible pistol.' AWR Hawkins, a Second Amendment columnist for Breitbart News, covers this issue.
