Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main categories of gun control bills recently signed in California?

The recently signed gun control bills in California fall into three main categories: those concerning the destruction of firearms (like AB 2842, AB 2739, SB 1019), those establishing new programs and funding for gun violence prevention (AB 1252, SB 9965), and those expanding restraining and protective orders to ban and seize firearms (AB 2629, AB 2907, AB 2917, AB 3083, SB 899, SB 102).

How did CRPA's advocacy impact the gun control bills signed in California?

CRPA actively opposed numerous gun control bills, successfully getting many amended down to be less restrictive or defeating them entirely. They focused on stopping more aggressive proposals like mandatory confiscation, taxation, and broad storage mandates, often turning them into technical changes or neutering their original intent.

What is the significance of the 2023-2024 California legislative session for gun rights?

The 2023-2024 California legislative session was a two-year session with over 6,000 bills. While some gun control measures were signed, CRPA highlights significant victories in defeating many more restrictive bills. The upcoming election year is seen as critical for potentially shifting the balance of power in Sacramento and preventing supermajority control.

What specific bills related to firearm storage were signed into California law?

Two notable bills related to firearm storage signed in California are AB 3064, which creates a lockbox roster and imposes fees on manufacturers, and SB 53. SB 53 requires residents to securely store firearms when they are not being carried or readily controlled, though its original stricter provisions were significantly amended.
