DOJ launches lawsuit over California’s Glock ban after warning

The Department of Justice sued California after warning the state against implementing a ban on the commercial sale of semiautomatic Glock-style handguns. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon gave Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta one week to consider a pre-suit settlement before the filing. The Trump DOJ argues that California cannot ban the most popular type of handgun in America, initiating legal action to challenge the state's restrictive firearm policies.
