Frequently Asked Questions

What is California Assembly Bill 1078?

AB 1078 is a proposed California law that would increase the limit on firearms a person can purchase within a 30-day period from one to three. It also includes provisions to revert the limit back to one if legal challenges to the current law are successful.

How does AB 1078 relate to the Nuin v. Bonta case?

AB 1078 is designed to potentially make the Nuin v. Bonta case moot. This legal challenge currently enjoins the enforcement of California's one-in-30 firearm purchase law, and AB 1078 seeks to alter that law, thereby changing the basis of the lawsuit.

What is the current status of California's one-in-30 firearm purchase law?

The enforcement of California's one-in-30 firearm purchase law is currently enjoined due to a district court order in the Nuin v. Bonta case. While there was a temporary stay, a panel reversed it, keeping the injunction in effect pending further legal proceedings.

What happens if the Ninth Circuit rules against the one-in-30 law?

If the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reverses the district court's order in Nuin v. Bonta, AB 1078 includes a provision that would decrease the firearm purchase limit back to one per 30 days, 30 days after the mandate is issued.
