California's AB1078, a bill limiting firearm purchases to three per month, has been amended in response to the Ninth Circuit's decision in Ninv Bont, which overturned the state's '1 in 30' law. The amendments remove language contingent on the Ninv Bont outcome, indicating a legislative intent to restrict firearm acquisition regardless of court rulings. The bill now includes an effective date of April 1st, 2026, and despite its language, it effectively reduces the purchase limit from unlimited (post-Ninv Bont) to three per month.
