AB 1127: Firearms: converter pistols.

The bill aims to amend the civil code and penal code to regulate firearms, specifically machinegun-convertible pistols. A licensed firearms dealer will no longer be allowed to sell, offer for sale, exchange, give, transfer, or deliver any semiautomatic machinegun-convertible pistol after July 1, 2026. This prohibition applies to pistols with a cruciform trigger bar that can be converted into a machinegun with common household tools. The bill also updates the definition of machinegun to include machinegun-convertible pistols equipped with a pistol converter, making their manufacture, sale, possession, or transportation a felony. Additionally, the bill provides an exception for pistols listed on a roster of safe handguns that have undergone testing and meet specific safety standards.
