California has passed AB 28, a significant tax on firearms and ammunition, intended to make these items unaffordable. This legislation imposes an additional 11% excise tax on vendors and FFLs, which will be passed on to consumers, potentially increasing total sales tax to 20% or more. The state anticipates legal challenges, citing historical analogs to justify the tax, though critics argue it's an unconstitutional attempt to price out low-income individuals. The law is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, if signed by the governor.
