The Department of Justice warned California<\/a> on Wednesday that\u00a0it would file a lawsuit against state officials if they do not scrap plans to enforce a\u00a0“Glock ban,” which the federal government argues violates\u00a0the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms.<\/p>\n

In a letter to California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> and state Attorney General Rob Bonta, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said California residents “have the constitutional right to acquire and use state-of-the-art handguns to protect themselves.”<\/p>\n

“They should not be forced to settle for decade-old models of handguns to ensure that they remain safe inside or outside the home,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

This comes as California\u2019s\u00a0Assembly Bill 1127, otherwise known as the “Glock ban,” is set to take effect on July 1. It was signed into law by Newsom last fall.<\/p>\n

The law prohibits licensed firearms dealers from selling or transferring any “machinegun-convertible pistol.” It also reclassifies Glocks, which are semi-automatic pistols, as “machinegun-convertible” since state officials say their trigger mechanisms can be quickly modified with illegal aftermarket conversion devices.<\/p>\n

People who already own these firearms may keep them, while sales to law enforcement agencies or the military are exempt from the restrictions.<\/p>\n

Dhillon said she approved the filing of a complaint in federal district court against California officials over the law, but explained that she would consider deferring the filing if the state agreed to enter pre-suit negotiations.<\/p>\n

“Although the specific provisions are open to discussion, a resolution must, at a minimum, require that the State: (1) immediately cease enforcement of the laws identified above; (2) acknowledge the unconstitutionality of these laws; and (3) agree to enter into a court-enforceable consent decree permanently enjoining the State from violating its citizens\u2019 constitutional rights<\/a> through these or any similar laws,” the letter reads.<\/p>\n

Dhillon gave California officials until 5 p.m. Tuesday to agree to enter pre-suit negotiations.<\/p>\n

“We hope that the State shares our interest in achieving a voluntary resolution of this matter,” she wrote.<\/p>\n
