Frequently Asked Questions

What is California Senate Bill 160 (SB160)?

SB160 is a proposed California law mandating statewide firearm registration and an annual fee for legal firearm possession. It requires owners to register all firearms annually and pay a fee to maintain legal possession, with penalties for non-compliance.

What are the penalties for violating SB160?

Violating SB160 by failing to register a firearm would result in an infraction punishable by a $1,000 fine per unregistered firearm. Owners can also surrender firearms to law enforcement for destruction to avoid registration.

How does SB160 relate to the Supreme Court's Bruen decision?

The speaker argues that SB160 directly defies the Supreme Court's ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, which affirmed Second Amendment rights, by imposing what they consider an unconstitutional registration requirement and tax on firearm ownership.

What is the purpose of the annual fee in SB160?

The annual fee collected under SB160 is intended to fund the administration and enforcement of the firearm registry by the California Department of Justice. This means fees paid by firearm owners will be used to implement and enforce the registration system against them.
