A pistol is designated a machinegun. Does that mean they could designate dogs grizzly bears, Ford Fiestas Mercedes-Maybach S680s, or Katie Porter svelte?

I'm pretty sure Federal law precludes this. But such a case might take years wending its way through courts.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

The “Glock Ban” is Democrat-sponsored legislation, fashioned as a response to the use of “Glock Switches,” which are already illegal. “Glock switches” are federally prohibited plastic pieces that can be affixed to the rear of a Glock slide to make the pistol shoot full auto.

“Glock switches” are wildly popular with gangs and street criminals, therefore California Democrats are banning new sales of one the most popular handguns ever made, the Glock pistol.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Any machine gun or part that can be used to convert a lesser firearm to full auto capability is already considered a "machine gun". Auto-sears, Glock Switches, and the like have been strictly controlled under the NFA, as amended and added to.

I would wager the vast majority of the people who are using 'Glock Switches' aren't exactly supposed to have a handgun (or any firearm) due to their past criminal records.

Well, it would be if 'mass murder' wasn't downgraded to 'Disturbing the Peace'.

Newsom Signs Glock Ban Bill Into Law

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been calling himself a Second Amendment supporter for several months now, but if anyone had any doubts about his lack of sincerity those can now be put to rest. On Friday afternoon the governor signed AB 1127 into law, which will outlaw the sale of Glock handguns in the state starting in January.

In addition to AB 1127, Newsom also signed legislation that will require sales of gun barrels to go through an FFL and a background check, as well as AB 1078, which replaces California's "1-in-30" handgun rationing law (which is already on hold thanks to a lawsuit) with a "3-in-30" law. The bill, however, states that California will return to its previous one-gun-a-month scheme if it's ultimately upheld by the courts.

As you can imagine, gun control activists are thrilled to see California become the first state in the nation to outlaw the sale of some of the most popular pistols in the country, and they'll be making a major push for other blue states to adopt similar bans in the months ahead. From Everytown for Gun Safety:

The NRA is already vowing to sue Newsom over the ban.

My guess is most of the other national Second Amendment groups will soon be filing suit as well, and we'll probably see a coalition or two combining forces to take on the new laws.

PS.This is not just a CA issue; this is an assault on the 2nd amendment.

Why not? They've been calling sick guys "her" for a while now. :shrug:

I just hope whatever that bug is stays on that side of the Sierras and Cascades and doesn't infect flyover country...
