California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed several new gun control measures that significantly impact lawful gun owners. These laws include expanding 'sensitive places' where concealed carry is prohibited (SB 2), imposing an 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition (AB 28), mandating specific credit card codes for firearm purchases (AB 1587), and requiring microstamping technology on new semi-automatic pistols (AB 732). Additional legislation addresses child endangerment firearm storage (SB 14), FFL dealer information sharing (AB 1420), and the definition of 'ghost guns' (AB 1163). The speaker asserts these laws will not deter criminals and encourages support for legal challenges.
California's SB 368 introduces new regulations impacting FFLs and firearm rights. It prohibits FFLs from conducting raffles for any store item, with violations potentially leading to license revocation and felony charges. The bill also mandates FFLs to act as voluntary buyback locations, though the fate of acquired firearms remains unclear. Furthermore, it allows for the potential extension of 10-year firearm prohibitions for misdemeanor convictions, even after the initial period has expired, raising concerns about lifelong bans.
