Frequently Asked Questions

What impact did the Supreme Court's Bruen decision have on California gun laws?

The Bruen decision mandated that gun laws must align with historical traditions of firearm regulation. This forced California to move away from 'proper cause' requirements for carry permits and led lawmakers to explore indirect methods like cost barriers and data tracking for new restrictions.

Why did AB 1006 fail in California?

AB 1006, which aimed to expand disqualifications for CCW licenses, failed because it was seen as an attempt to reintroduce subjective 'may issue' elements post-Bruen, and it did not clear legislative deadlines. It was held under submission in committee.

How did AB 1187 attempt to restrict firearm access in California?

AB 1187 proposed to change the Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) from a simple written test to an 8-hour training with live fire. This would significantly increase the cost and time commitment, acting as a financial barrier for new gun owners.

What were the concerns surrounding SB 320, California's proposed 'do not sell' list?

Concerns about SB 320, the voluntary 'do not sell' list, included potential data privacy issues, the risk of misuse in court, and the creation of a permanent record, despite its stated goal of suicide prevention.
