Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key new gun laws signed by Governor Newsom in California?

Governor Newsom signed SB 2 expanding 'sensitive places' for carry, AB 28 imposing an 11% excise tax on firearms/ammo, AB 1587 requiring credit card codes for gun sales, and AB 732 mandating microstamping on new pistols. Other laws include SB 14 on child endangerment, AB 1420 on FFL data sharing, AB 1163 on ghost guns, and SB 368 on armed guard training.

How does SB 2 affect concealed carry in California?

SB 2 significantly restricts concealed carry by designating more locations as 'sensitive places' where firearms are prohibited. This includes parks, playgrounds, churches, banks, zoos, public transit, and private property without explicit permission, making it nearly impossible to carry in many public and private settings.

What is the purpose of AB 28, the new firearm and ammunition tax in California?

AB 28 imposes an 11% excise tax on firearm and ammunition sales, on top of existing sales tax. The revenue generated from this tax is intended to fund gun violence prevention programs. The law is projected to generate approximately $160 million annually.

What are the concerns regarding AB 1587 and credit card codes for firearm purchases?

AB 1587 mandates credit card companies use a specific merchant code for firearm purchases. Critics express concerns that this measure could lead to privacy violations, potential government surveillance, and the targeting of lawful gun owners based on their purchasing habits.
