Frequently Asked Questions

What is the proposed excise tax in California?

California is attempting to revive an excise tax on firearms and ammunition. This tax would impose a $25 fee on every firearm purchase and also apply to ammunition, with funds directed towards programs aimed at gun violence prevention.

How might mandatory liability insurance affect gun owners in San Jose?

San Jose is considering mandatory liability insurance for firearm owners. This could allow insurance companies to dictate firearm storage requirements, potentially restricting Second Amendment rights through policy rather than direct legislation.

What is AB-18 and its purpose?

AB-18 was a past firearm excise tax bill in California (2019-2020) that aimed to fund programs like CalVIP by taxing firearm retailers and FFLs. The revived excise tax proposal carries similar objectives.

Who is fighting against these new gun control measures in California?

The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) is actively fighting against measures like AB-18, deeming them unconstitutional and a burden on Second Amendment rights. They advocate for gun owners' rights at both state and local levels.
