How California Government Created the Pretense For the GLOCK Ban That’s About to Become Law

California GLOCK ban feedback loop

The GLOCK sales ban that seems about to become law in California (AB 1127) was prompted by a 2022 mass shooting in Sacramento that California politicians caused through their own soft-on-crime policies. They let a violent criminal out of prison six years early, due to Proposition 57.

That criminal, a prohibited person, then illegally modified a GLOCK he could not legally possess and used it to murder his rivals in a gang-related shooting. While several suspects were involved in the Sacramento shooting, only one had a modified GLOCK with a full auto switch: Smiley Allen Martin.

He was a prohibited person who in 2018 was sentenced to 10 years in prison for domestic violence. When he was released, it was illegal for him to have any gun, let alone a full auto pistol.

AB 1127 was sponsored by Assembly member Jesse Gabriel. In a press release about his bill, he references the Sacramento shooting in 2022 as prompting him to push the GLOCK ban.

Governor Gavin Newsom and his political allies literally released a violent monster onto our streets, then used the perfectly predictable crimes he committed as pretext to further limit the rights of good, law-abiding people. Now, as a result, law-abiding gun owners are going to be prevented from purchasing America’s most popular handgun.

I am angry at myself for not having put these facts together (it was pointed out by a follower of mine on social media). At this point, only Newsom can stop the GLOCK ban bill with a veto.

In theory, if Newsom — who appears to be getting ready to run for president — overrides the ban, the legislature could override him, but they have not overridden any veto since 1979. So this is entirely Newsom’s call. If he signs the ban into law, I’ll do everything I can to make sure every swing state voter in 2028 knows both that he banned the most popular handguns in the country — Kamala Harris’s gun — and that he supported letting out the violent criminal that was the excuse for the ban in the first place.

So to recap, Gavin Newsom and his party, after convincing California’s foolish voters into backing Proposition 57, let oa vicious monster out of jail six years early. That monster predictably did what monsters do. And now the same politicians are using a vicious crime they enabled as a pretext to ban the sale of the most popular handguns in the country. It’s outrageous.

Gavin Newsom should veto the bill which is still on his desk. It’s literally the least he could do.

  1. If governments actually put away repeat offenders they wouldn’t able to justify their endless expansion and intrusion.
    Also, according to new rules set forth last week man+gun = rightwinger.
    Also, also, according to recent politicking spin Newsome is actually very pro-gun despite decades of evidence to the contrary so I fully expect him to veto the bill.

    1. The other new rule is white = right-wing. I assume those militant kwer* groups, that are full of white gun owners, must be conservative Christians. I’m worried they might start taking out other right-wingers that aren’t conservative enough.

  2. Geoff "I'm getting too old for this crap" PR

    Not one mention of the fact that guns “in common use” are expressly protected by the 2A, by SCotUS District of Columbia v. Heller precedent?

    1. “Not one mention of the fact that guns “in common use”. . . .”

      1. The law is, itself, a weapon of political warfare, covered under the conncept of, “So, sue me.”

      2. The whole “common use” rubric is bogus, and completely illogical. Make something illegal, and before long it is no longer in “common use”; easy workaround of the Constitution.

  3. I had the opportunity to shoot a full auto glock once. I had a stupid smile on my face for the rest of the day. Full auto Glocks are as hard to control as they are fun/awesome!

  4. BREAKING: California Banning Glocks & Background Checks On Firearm Barrels!

    “California isn’t just targeting Glocks—the state legislature has sent multiple gun control bills to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk. From AB 1127, which effectively bans Glock pistols, to SB 704’s background checks on barrels, AB 1078’s revived ‘purchase rationing,’ and AB 1263’s crackdown on DIY files and machines, these laws represent some of the most sweeping attacks on the Second Amendment in years.

    In this video, I break down each bill in detail, what it means for California gun owners, when these laws kick in, and why they’re ripe for challenges under Heller and Bruen. This is not about public safety—it’s about controlling law-abiding gun owners.”

  7. Karma finds a way sometimes to clean up the gene pool a little: Feral Thug Stabs Two Women, Flees Into Park Pond, Immediately Drowns.

    “An urban youth — as perpetrators of violent crime are often referred to in polite liberal media to avoid getting too specific with descriptors — experiencing a ‘mental health episode’ ‘randomly’ stabbed two women in a Tallahassee Park last week.

    While fleeing the scene, he dove into a pond and immediately drowned.

  8. “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”

    If there are no issues for government to solve (control), the entire reason for government comes into question. The prime directive for any living organism is to survive, at all costs; proliferation is an essetial tool for that survival.

    Back in the day, I was at an airbase undergoing an annual Inspector General visit. One of the “write-ups” visited upon the unit was a declared failure to perform adequately on the previous inspection. . . .even though all the discrepancies had been corrected and approved by the IG office. The new “write-up” was awarded because we had collected unsatisfactory scores on the previous inspection. Essentially, we were down-rated the preious year, (regardless of the fact corrections had been subsequently made and approved). The comment by the IG team was that it didn’t matter that the corrections had been certified by the IG office, we were guilty of having been awarded failing grades the year prior; circular reasoning at its best.
