Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Renna v. Bonta case about?

The Renna v. Bonta case challenges California's Unsafe Handgun Act and AB 2847, which together create and maintain a roster of approved handguns for sale. The lawsuit argues that these regulations are unconstitutional and restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens to acquire firearms.

How does California's handgun roster affect firearm availability?

California's handgun roster significantly limits the types of handguns available for purchase. Only firearms certified as 'safe' by the state, meeting criteria like micro-stamping, are allowed. This often excludes newer models and drives up prices for off-roster firearms on the secondary market.

What is AB 2847 in California?

AB 2847 is a California law that impacts the state's handgun roster. It stipulates that for every new handgun added to the approved list, three older, non-compliant models must be removed, further restricting the availability of firearms over time.

Can Californians buy handguns not on the roster?

Generally, no. Civilians cannot legally purchase handguns not on the California roster directly from dealers. However, off-roster firearms can sometimes be acquired on the secondary market, often from law enforcement officers who are exempt from the roster rules, at significantly higher prices.
