Duration: 10:40

This video discusses two new gun control bills signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom in September 2020: AB 2362 and AB 2847. AB 2362 targets firearms dealers (FFLs) by imposing significant fines for minor errors, making it harder for them to operate. AB 2847, while appearing to ease requirements for handguns on the roster, is predicted to decimate the list by mandating the removal of three existing firearms for every new one added, effectively limiting consumer choice. The speaker argues these bills, along with California's political climate, are designed to erode Second Amendment rights incrementally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key new gun control bills signed in California?

Governor Gavin Newsom signed two significant gun control bills in September 2020: AB 2362, which imposes heavy fines on firearms dealers (FFLs) for minor errors, and AB 2847, which alters the handgun roster requirements in a way that is expected to drastically reduce the number of available firearms.

How does AB 2362 affect firearms dealers in California?

AB 2362 targets Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) by introducing substantial fines, potentially up to $3,000, for simple clerical mistakes. This increases the operational burden and financial risk for businesses already operating in a challenging market.

What is the impact of AB 2847 on California's handgun roster?

AB 2847 is predicted to decimate California's handgun roster. While it lowers the technical requirements for new handguns to be added, it mandates that three existing firearms must be removed for every new one approved, significantly limiting consumer choice.

What is the broader strategy behind California's gun control legislation?

The strategy is described as 'death by a thousand paper cuts,' where incremental restrictions are implemented to gradually erode Second Amendment rights. This approach aims to make it difficult to challenge the laws in court by not enacting outright bans.
