## Resource

Today, we talk to gubernatorial prospect Steve Hilton about what is happening on the ground in the state of California. What can people do to protect themselves as California politicians take away the rights of their constituents? A little bit about this bill: California's new law, AB 1127, bans the sale of new Glock and Glock-style handguns that can be easily converted into automatic weapons by a "cruciform trigger bar". The law, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, takes effect on July 1, 2026, and applies to both Glock-manufactured and similar pistols that have this specific component. The ban does not apply to existing Glock ownership, law enforcement sales, or private party transfers of pre-existing firearms.
