Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Renna v. Bonta case about?

The Renna v. Bonta case challenges California's handgun roster laws, specifically focusing on AB 2847, which introduced a 'three-for-one' rule for removing handguns from the approved sales list. The case has progressed past a motion to dismiss.

What is California's Handgun Roster?

California's Handgun Roster is a list of handguns approved by the Department of Justice for sale to ordinary citizens. It requires firearms to meet specific safety standards, including microstamping technology, and is a key point of contention in legal challenges like Renna v. Bonta.

What is AB 2847 and the 'three-for-one' rule?

AB 2847 is a California law that created a 'three-for-one' rule for the Handgun Roster: for every new handgun added, three existing ones must be removed. This effectively shrinks the list of available handguns for sale, acting as a 'backdoor ban'.

What is microstamping in the context of California gun laws?

Microstamping is a technology mandated by California's Unsafe Handgun Act. It imprints a unique serial number from the firearm onto spent casings, intended to help law enforcement identify the weapon used in a crime. Its implementation is a barrier to new handguns being added to the roster.
