A new Maryland law banning Glock and Glock-style firearms is facing a legal challenge from major gun rights organizations, who argue the measure is unconstitutional.

The lawsuit, filed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), Firearms Policy Coalition, and Second Amendment Foundation, targets Senate Bill 334, which was signed into law by Governor Wes Moore earlier this week. The law is scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027.

Once implemented, the legislation will prohibit the manufacture, sale, purchase, or transfer of Glock and similar pistols that can be converted into automatic weapons through the use of attachments.

The law defines a “machine gun convertible pistol” as a semiautomatic handgun that can be modified into a machine gun using an attachment that can be installed by hand or with common household tools.

“In effect, the law bans nearly every Glock and Glock-style pistol on the market,” the NRA stated.
