Connecticut House Passes Bill Targeting Glock Handguns and Striker-Fired Pistols - Ammoland.com
The Connecticut House of Representatives voted 86 to 64 on April 22, 2026 to pass HB 5043, legislation that would effectively ban the sale of Glock handguns and similarly designed striker-fired pistols in the state. All House Republicans and 15 Democrats voted against the measure.
Gov. Ned Lamont introduced the bill on February 5, 2026, as a governor’s bill pursuant to Joint Rule 9. He held a press conference promoting the legislation in early March and has expressed his intent to sign it. Key legislative supporters include Rep. Steven Stafstrom of Bridgeport, who led the floor debate, along with Rep. Eleni Kavros DeGraw, Rep. Josh Elliott, Sen. Derek Slap, and Sen. Martha Marx.
The bill bans the future sale, importation, distribution, and advertising of “convertible pistols” in Connecticut. The legislation defines a convertible pistol as “any semiautomatic pistol with a cruciform trigger bar that can be readily converted by hand or with a common household tool into a machine gun solely by the installation or attachment of a pistol converter.”

Eleventh Circuit Says Machine Guns Are Not Protected by the Second Amendment - Ammoland.com
The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has ruled that machine guns are not protected by the Second Amendment, citing the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller. The court held that machine guns are dangerous and unusual weapons, and can be banned under the United States Constitution.
The case, United States v. Maxon Alsenat, involved the conviction of Maxon Alsenat under 18 U.S.C. § 922(o)(1), which prohibits the possession of a machine gun (including conversion devices). Mr. Alsenat was indicted in the Southern District of Florida for knowingly possessing a machine gun conversion device (MCD). In this case, police claimed that he possessed three Glock switches, which they say he tried to sell to an undercover officer. He moved to dismiss the indictment on Second Amendment grounds. The district court denied the motion, finding that machine guns are not in common use and are dangerous and unusual. The court also ruled that conversion devices are not “arms.” In the court’s view, MCDs are “accessories” and therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.
