Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Renna v Becerra lawsuit about?

The Renna v Becerra lawsuit challenges California's Handgun Roster, also known as the Unsafe Handgun Act. Filed by Second Amendment advocacy groups, it argues that the roster and its requirements, like microstamping, are unconstitutional barriers to firearm ownership.

Why are handguns like the Glock 19 not on California's roster?

Handguns such as the Glock 19 are not on California's roster because they fail to meet the state's stringent safety requirements, which include features like microstamping, a loaded chamber indicator, and a magazine disconnect. These requirements are often seen as prohibitive.

What is microstamping and why is it controversial in California?

Microstamping is a technology intended to imprint a unique mark from the firing pin onto a cartridge casing. It's controversial in California because its implementation is considered by many to be unreliable, expensive, and primarily serves as a barrier to adding new handguns to the state's approved roster.

What is the significance of AB 2847 regarding California's Handgun Roster?

AB 2847, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, intensified California's Handgun Roster restrictions. It mandates microstamping and introduces a 'three-for-one' removal rule: for every new handgun model added to the roster, three existing models must be removed, further limiting consumer choice.
