Gun rights groups sue New York over Glock ban
A coalition of gun rights groups sued New York officials over a new state law that would ban Glocks and similar popular pistols, as the Supreme Court is set to hear a case on sweeping bans of popular semiautomatic rifles in the coming months.
TL;DR
- Gun rights groups, including the NRA, are suing New York officials over a new law banning Glocks and similar pistols.
- The lawsuit claims the ban violates Supreme Court precedent on the right to carry firearms.
- The law, signed in May, is not set to go into effect until May 2027.
- Plaintiffs argue that these pistols are in common use and comparable to other ordinary semi-automatic handguns.
- The ban would force New Yorkers into a limited secondary market for these firearms.
