Frequently Asked Questions

How do California's handgun laws affect disabled shooters?

What is the significance of the handgun roster lawsuit in California?

How does microstamping impact firearm availability in California?

Microstamping requirements, mandated by California's Unsafe Handgun Act, have effectively prevented most new handgun models from entering the state market. The technology is not widely adopted by manufacturers due to cost and production challenges, further restricting consumer choice.

What is Assembly Bill 2571 and its impact on youth firearms programs?

Assembly Bill 2571, now part of the 'Junior Sport Magazine v. Bonta' lawsuit, restricts advertising firearms to minors in California. This law has forced youth shooting programs and websites to temporarily shut down or modify their operations due to potential fines and legal ambiguity.
