Renna v Bonta - CA Semi- Auto "Convertible" Pistol Ban & Firearms Regs

Gun rights groups move to block new California Glock ban in federal court

 

A coalition of gun rights organizations filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in federal court on Wednesday to halt the enforcement of California’s newly expanded handgun restrictions.

The legal filing was submitted as part of Renna v. Bonta, an existing federal lawsuit challenging California’s firearm regulations. The lawsuit was recently updated to target Assembly Bill 1127, a measure passed by state lawmakers last October that expanded the state’s Unsafe Handgun Act.

 

Under the provisions that took effect on July 1, 2026, licensed firearms dealers in California are barred from selling, offering, exchanging, giving, transferring, or delivering any pistol classified by the state as a “semiautomatic machinegun-convertible pistol.”

The legislation specifically defines this category to include handguns built with a cruciform trigger bar. That design mechanism is a core component in virtually all Glock models and similar firearms, which represent some of the most widely owned handguns in the United States.
