What: Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a motion to supplement Renna v. Calif. Attorney General Rob Bonta, its federal lawsuit challenging California’s handgun roster, to add a claim against the State’s ban on semiautomatic handguns with cruciform trigger bars, including nearly every Glock and Glock-style pistol on the market.
Who: The plaintiffs include FPC, individual and retailer FPC members, San Diego County Gun Owners PAC, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Second Amendment Foundation, and National Rifle Association of America. They are represented by Bradley A. Benbrook and Stephen M. Duvernay of Benbrook Law Group, PC.
When: July 1, 2026.
Where: The motion was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
Why: California’s ban on handguns with a cruciform trigger bar adds to its existing unconstitutional handgun-ban regime by prohibiting peaceable people from acquiring some of the most popular handguns in the country.
Quote: “California’s expanding ban on constitutionally protected handguns is open defiance of the Constitution and binding Supreme Court precedent. In April, we said the right path was to pursue the strongest coalition strategy against California’s entire handgun-ban scheme. That is exactly what we are doing. By adding a challenge to California’s Glock ban to our long-running Roster and microstamping lawsuit, we are bringing the State’s latest attack on common handguns into the core fight against its unconstitutional handgun-ban regime. California cannot evade the Second Amendment by expanding, repackaging, or relabeling its handgun bans. FPC and our Grassroots Army will continue to Fight Forward until every law that prevents peaceable Californians from acquiring modern handguns is eliminated.” — FPC President Brandon Combs
