Connecticut Democrats just pulled a page straight from California's anti-gun playbook, ramming a Glock ban through the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday—mirroring the Golden State's 2025 law that targeted the world's most popular pistol. This isn't some vague assault weapon nonsense; it's a direct assault on Glocks' finger-groove grips, slide designs, and other unsafe features that lawmakers deem too ergonomic for mere peasants. Sponsored by the usual suspects pushing safety over freedom, the bill (HB 6666, because of course it is) claims these pistols are uniquely dangerous, ignoring FBI data showing Glocks' stellar track record in law enforcement and self-defense scenarios. With Democrats holding a supermajority in the Nutmeg State's legislature, this could hit Governor Ned Lamont's desk by summer, turning every Glock owner into a felon overnight. The implications for the 2A community are chilling: this is California 2.0 on steroids, a blueprint for blue-state dominoes like New York and New Jersey to copy-paste next. We've seen this movie before—California's ban sparked lawsuits from gunmakers like Glock and Polymer80, with federal courts already chipping away at it under Bruen's text, history, and tradition standard. Connecticut's version ups the ante by bundling in microstamping mandates and serialization requirements that no manufacturer can realistically meet, effectively pricing out innovation and forcing black-market proliferation. Pro-2A warriors like the CT Citizens Defense League are mobilizing recalls and lawsuits, but the real fight is exposing the hypocrisy: these pols ban reliable tools for civilians while their bodyguards pack the same Glocks. If this passes, expect a surge in FFL exodus from Connecticut, just like post-2013 AWB, crippling local access to firearms. Gun owners nationwide, take note—this isn't just a Connecticut problem; it's a warning shot for the midterms. Stock up on compliant grips if you're in a risky state, support national orgs like GOA and FPC funding Bruen challenges, and hammer your reps: Hands off my Glock! The Second Amendment isn't a suggestion, and neither is our resolve to fight these incremental erosions. Stay vigilant, stay armed, and let's turn this tide before it spreads.

Connecticut Democrats just pulled a page straight from California’s anti-gun playbook, ramming a Glock ban through the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday—mirroring the Golden State’s 2025 law that targeted the world’s most popular pistol.
