California’s new ban on Glock handguns takes effect on July 1. It is a new tactic for gun control advocates. Instead of trying to ban all handguns, a growing number of Democratic-led states are targeting one of the most commonly owned handguns in America – Glocks – on the grounds that criminals can easily convert them into machine guns. But even gangs rarely use these conversions, for a simple reason: They are extremely difficult to control and can be just as likely to injure the shooter as the intended target.
