California Bill Bans All Handguns by 2027
California has introduced Senate Bill 452, proposing a ban on the sale of all new semi-automatic handguns by January 1, 2027, unless they are 'microstamping enabled.' This bill effectively aims to eliminate handguns from the California market, as microstamping technology is not currently viable or widely implemented in the way the state requires. The bill faces legal challenges, as federal judges have previously ruled microstamping provisions unconstitutional.
