Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'online parts ban' in California?

California's AB 1263, known as the 'online parts ban,' targets the sale of 3D printers, digital firearm files, and various gun components online. It also extends to basic tools like armorer's wrenches, impacting how individuals can acquire firearm-related items.

How will California's firearm purchase limits change in 2026?

Starting April 1, 2026, California law AB 1078 will limit residents to purchasing only three firearms per month. This limit includes both finished firearms and serialized unfinished parts, significantly restricting acquisition frequency.

What firearms does California's AB 1127 ban affect?

AB 1127, dubbed the 'Glock Ban,' prohibits firearms on the state roster that feature a cruciform trigger bar, which the state claims can be easily converted into a machine gun. This primarily impacts Glock models and will lead to their removal from the roster.

What are the new reporting requirements for precursor parts in California?

Effective July 1, 2026, AB 725 requires California gun owners to report lost or stolen 'precursor parts,' such as unfinished frames or receivers. Failure to report these parts within the specified time can lead to legal consequences if they are later recovered at a crime scene.
