Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns regarding the UN Arms Treaty and US gun owners?

What is California Assembly Bill 173 and why is it controversial?

California AB 173 mandates the state DOJ to hand over the entire gun registry to a research center at UC Davis, with potential publication to other non-profits. Critics fear this exposes personal data of gun owners, making them targets.
