FPC Sues New York to Take Down Gov. Hochul’s New “Glock Ban”
What: Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a new federal lawsuit, The Firing Pin v. James, after New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed Senate Bill S9005C that bans so-called “convertible pistols,” semiautomatic handguns with a cruciform trigger bar.
