The U.S. Department of Justice sued California over a 2025 law banning semiautomatic machine gun-convertible pistols, including most Glock and Glock-style handguns. The DOJ argues the ban violates the Second Amendment, citing a Supreme Court decision requiring regulations to align with historical firearm traditions. The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, prohibits sales of such firearms, which can be converted into fully automatic weapons using devices like the 'Glock switch.'

The Indiana Supreme Court ended Gary's 26-year lawsuit against major gun manufacturers, which had survived multiple dismissal attempts and state laws aimed at blocking it.

Brady, representing Gary, criticized the decision as a victory for the gun industry's political influence.

Connecticut Democrats introduced a bill to ban most Glock-style pistols that can be converted into machine guns, sparking concern among Second Amendment advocates who fear further gun restrictions.
