The Glock 19, the handgun model used in Saturday’s mass shooting, is used by law enforcement agencies across the country, including the New York Police Department.

The gunman was using a 33-round magazine, which is banned in six states and the District of Columbia, but not in Arizona, which has among the most permissive gun laws.
