Frequently Asked Questions

What new gun control laws are taking effect in California on July 1st, 2024?

California is implementing two significant gun control measures on July 1st, 2024: a ban on 3D printers marketed for firearm manufacturing, requiring owners to dispose of them within 90 days, and an additional 11% tax on firearms and ammunition, potentially raising total taxes to 22%.

How will the new 11% tax on firearms and ammunition affect California consumers?

While the 11% tax is levied on sellers, it is expected to be passed directly to consumers. This means prices for firearms and ammunition will increase significantly, potentially adding 20-22% to the total cost due to existing taxes.

What are the legal concerns regarding California's new firearm tax?

The speaker raises concerns about the constitutionality of the new firearm tax, arguing that taxing a constitutional right may be illegal. They cite the Bruin decision, which requires historical legal precedents from the time of the Second Amendment's ratification or the Reconstruction Era, suggesting 20th-century analogues are insufficient.

What is the deadline for California residents to acquire 3D printers used for firearm manufacturing?

California residents who own 3D printers marketed for finishing 80% lower receivers or similar firearm components must dispose of them within 90 days of the law taking effect on July 1st, 2024. Owning such a printer after this period would constitute unlicensed manufacturing.
