Assembly Bill 584, authored by freshman Assemblymember Heather Hadwick, successfully passed in California, marking the first pro-2A bill in over three decades. The bill aimed to address harassment of Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) by the Department of Justice (DOJ), stemming from conflicting laws accumulated over four decades. It clarifies regulations to prevent arbitrary fines and removals of FFLs, thereby protecting gun stores from closure due to landlord issues or DOJ scrutiny. The bill's expedited passage through the consent calendar to the governor's desk highlights a significant legislative achievement for Second Amendment advocates in the state.
This video discusses two key pieces of California legislation impacting firearms dealers (FFLs). Senate Bill 15 aims to increase scrutiny and fees on FFLs, potentially leading to business closures through enhanced audits and penalties. Conversely, Assembly Bill 584 seeks to modernize security requirements for FFLs by allowing updated technology like panic hardware, resolving conflicts between existing penal and fire codes. The discussion highlights the ongoing legislative battle for Second Amendment rights in California.
