New California Gun Law Begins This January 2026
This video breaks down California's SB 704, focusing on new regulations for firearm barrels set to take effect in 2026 and 2027. It clarifies that while the law becomes 'effective' on January 1, 2026, key provisions like background checks and registration for barrels are 'operative' from July 1, 2027. The speaker critically analyzes the delayed operative dates as a potential legal strategy to preemptively challenge lawsuits.
