Frequently Asked Questions

What is Assembly Bill 28 (AB 28) in California?

Assembly Bill 28 (AB 28) is a proposed law in California that would implement an 11% excise tax on firearms, ammunition, and firearm parts. This measure is being introduced as part of Proposition 30, which is primarily focused on climate change funding.

How will the proposed 11% excise tax affect gun owners in California?

The 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition will act as an additional financial burden on top of existing sales taxes and fees. Critics argue this will make firearms and ammunition unaffordable for many, particularly those with lower incomes, effectively limiting their ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights for self-defense.

What is the connection between Proposition 30 and AB 28?

Proposition 30 is a ballot measure in California intended for climate change funding. Assembly Bill 28, which proposes the new excise tax on firearms, is being used as a vehicle to attach this gun control measure to Proposition 30, potentially passing it under the guise of climate initiatives.

What legal arguments are being made against California's new gun tax?

Opponents argue that the proposed 11% excise tax infringes upon the Second Amendment right to bear arms by making essential self-defense tools prohibitively expensive. They also question the effectiveness of using such taxes for 'gun violence prevention' when most violence involves illegally obtained firearms.
