FPC Statement on California Governor Gavin Newsom Signing AB 1127

SACRAMENTO (October 10, 2025) — Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued the following statement in response to California Governor Gavin Newsom signing AB 1127—the so-called “Glock ban”—which criminalizes the sales of widely owned, constitutionally protected handguns:

Governor Newsom has once again proven that California’s political class will stop at nothing to attack peaceable people and their rights. AB 1127 is an unconstitutional, bad-faith attempt to outlaw some of the most common firearms in the United States. 

But no tyrant, no politician, and no state will ever be allowed to extinguish the rights of a free people. Not now. Not ever.

FPC and our legal team have been preparing a challenge to AB 1127 for months. We and our allies will move swiftly to strike down this unlawful and immoral ban in federal court. The Constitution—not Gavin Newsom—defines the limits of government power, and we will make sure he once more learns that lesson.
