Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bollman v. Bonta lawsuit challenging in California?

The Bollman v. Bonta lawsuit, filed by CRPA, challenges California's Unsafe Handgun Act (UHA) and its handgun roster. The suit argues that these restrictions infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of citizens by preventing access to commonly owned handguns.

How has the Supreme Court's Bruen decision impacted challenges to the California handgun roster?

The Bruen decision invalidated the previous 'two-step' legal approach for Second Amendment cases. This shift requires states to demonstrate historical analogues for firearm restrictions, making it more feasible to challenge laws like the California handgun roster.

What are the key arguments against California's Unsafe Handgun Act (UHA)?

Arguments against the UHA and handgun roster include that it prevents the general public from acquiring handguns commonly owned nationwide for self-defense, lacks historical precedent, and that safety features are not applied equally (e.g., law enforcement exemptions).

What legal remedies are plaintiffs seeking against the California handgun roster?

Plaintiffs are seeking a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and preliminary injunctions to halt the enforcement of the handgun roster during the litigation. Ultimately, they aim for a permanent injunction to permanently bar the state from enforcing the roster.
