Frequently Asked Questions

What is California's AB 2847 bill?

AB 2847, known as California's 'backdoor handgun ban,' aims to change microstamping requirements for handguns on the roster. It proposes reducing the requirement to one microstamp location but mandates the removal of three existing handguns for every new one added.

Why is AB 2847 called a 'backdoor handgun ban'?

It's called a 'backdoor ban' because while it slightly modifies microstamping rules, its primary effect is the mandatory removal of three older handguns from the roster for every new one added, significantly reducing the number of available firearms.

What is the 'one-to-three' ratio in AB 2847?

The 'one-to-three' ratio means that for every single new handgun that meets the bill's requirements and is approved for the California Handgun Roster, three previously approved handguns must be removed from the roster, starting with the oldest models.

How can citizens oppose AB 2847?

Citizens are urged to contact their representatives on the California Committee on Appropriations. Specifically, contacting Vice Chair Frank Bigelow is recommended to voice opposition to AB 2847 before its rehearing.
