SAF FILES MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN CALIFORNIA FIREARMS TAX CASE

Summary

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and partners Poway Weapons & Gear and Sacramento Gun Range have filed a motion for summary judgment in the case Poway Weapons & Gear v. Gonzales, challenging California’s 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition. This tax, implemented by Assembly Bill 28 in July 2024, is argued by SAF to be an unconstitutional infringement on Second Amendment rights by using taxation to create a 'paywall' for a fundamental right.
