Americans have seen efforts like this [banning GLOCK pistols] before, and they have not survived constitutional scrutiny. Under recent Supreme Court precedent, including New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, firearm regulations must be consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of gun ownership.
That will not change here. The right to keep and bear arms does not hinge on the political preferences of a handful of states, nor can it be erased by redefining common firearms out of existence. These bans will face vigorous legal challenges, and if they are judged on the same constitutional principles that have protected this right for generations, we are confident they’ll be overturned.
But gun owners can’t sit back and hope for the courts to intervene on their behalf. Other states will seek to follow now that three others have joined California. And when the gun grabbers take this bad legislation as far as they can go, they’ll move on to other ways to limit your ability to exercise your Second Amendment rights. That’s why gun owners have to stay engaged, make your voice heard to your elected officials, and when November comes around, vote for someone who will stand with you.
