Gun rights groups sue New York over Glock ban

Published August 14, 2026 4:40pm ET



A coalition of gun rights groups sued New York officials over a new state law that would ban Glocks and similar popular pistols, as the Supreme Court is set to hear a case on sweeping bans of popular semiautomatic rifles in the coming months.

The lawsuit, filed by the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, and the Firing Pin LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York claims the ban, signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in May but not set to go into effect until May 2027, violates key Supreme Court precedent that affirms the broad right to carry firearms, including popular handguns.
