Exclusions that allow the purchase and use of “dangerous” handguns by law enforcement officials have given rise to several high-profile scandals in recent years involving black market sales to civilians. The H&K USP handgun line, short for Universal Self-Loading Pistol, has been in production since 1993. Available in the most common calibers, they remain a popular choice among collectors and shooting enthusiasts across the country. The decertification of popular and previously licensed handguns underscores the impact of one of the strangest laws in a state known for its restrictive gun policy. Gun owners reacted to the news of the revocation of certification in online forums.
The comments reviewed by The Reload show that many owners were shocked and confused, while others denounced the state`s gun policy more broadly. California was also one of the first states to ban the sale, manufacture and possession of bump-stock devices and other “multiburst trigger activators,” which are firearm accessories designed to dramatically increase the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm to simulate the firing of automatic machine guns.5 As of 2018, California has passed new laws to clarify and expand this ban on bump stocks and similar devices. This includes devices intended to be attached, installed or used in conjunction with a semi-automatic firearm.6 For more information, please see our Machine Gun Policy page.
