The Bill to Force a Gun Registry in California
This video, presented by William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, critically analyzes California's Senate Bill 1160, which proposes a mandatory annual gun registry. Kirk highlights the bill's apparent conflict with federal law, specifically the Firearms Owners' Protection Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. Sec. 926), which prohibits federal or state firearm registries. The analysis details SB 1160's requirements for annual registration, associated fees, and penalties for non-compliance, including a $1,000 fine for possessing unregistered firearms starting July 1, 2025. Kirk expresses strong opposition, deeming the bill 'atrocious' and a potential infringement on Second Amendment rights.
