The Department of Justice notified California officials that it will file a federal lawsuit unless the state halts a ban on semiautomatic Glock-style handguns scheduled to begin July 1. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon sent the letter Wednesday to Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta. The letter offers pre-suit settlement negotiations by June 30.
It does not restrict current ownership or private resale. Officials cited concerns that the pistols could be converted to fully automatic weapons using illegal switches.
