Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main goals of the new California assault weapon bills in 2016?

The primary goals of the new California assault weapon bills are to expand the definition of what constitutes an 'assault weapon,' specifically targeting firearms with detachable magazines and bullet buttons. They also aim to implement mandatory registration and potentially lead to confiscation of newly defined banned firearms.

How does the existing California assault weapon ban define an assault weapon?

The existing California assault weapon ban defines a centerfire rifle as an assault weapon if it can accept a detachable magazine and has at least one 'evil feature,' such as a vertical foregrip or an adjustable buttstock.

What is the significance of the 'bullet button' in California gun laws?

The bullet button is a tool used to remove a magazine from a firearm. The current California assault weapons ban acknowledges that a bullet can be used as a tool for magazine removal, implying it's a permissible workaround. However, new bills aim to eliminate this workaround.

What are the potential consequences for firearm owners if the new California bills pass?

If the new California bills pass, owners of firearms now classified as assault weapons would be required to register them. Failure to register could result in confiscation, or owners would need to sell to an FFL, transfer out of state, or keep the firearm out of state.
