Everytown for Gun Safety (in favor, 10.9.2024) Legislation to update New York's landmark gun industry accountability law to explicitly require firearm manufacturers to take steps to ensure their handguns cannot be easily turned into machine guns with Glock switches.
Oregon NPR (opposing view, May 18 2024) [A spokesman for] NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, says the legislation appears to be directed at Glock. But it "would essentially ban not just Glocks, but nearly all striker-fired handguns," because of its vague language, he says. He notes that many police departments--including NYC's--use Glocks because of their reputation for reliability. He says if Glock is forced to retool its semi-automatic pistols, that reliability could be compromised.
Legislative outcome Passed Senate 48-13-2 on Jun/6; Passed Assembly 97-44-9 on Jun/8; signed by Gov. Hochul on Oct/9/24.
