Frequently Asked Questions

What are AB 311 and SB 264 in California?

AB 311 aims to ban the sale of precursor parts used to assemble firearms, while SB 264 proposes a statewide ban on firearm and ammunition sales on all government-owned property, significantly impacting gun shows.

How do gun shows operate under current California law?

Gun shows in California are subject to more scrutiny and restrictions than brick-and-mortar stores. Contrary to some claims, firearms are not typically transferred directly out of gun shows without adhering to all legal requirements, including background checks.

What is the main challenge with California's AB 311 regarding precursor parts?

The primary challenge with AB 311 is that the California Department of Justice has not yet provided a clear, defined list of what constitutes a 'precursor part.' This ambiguity makes enforcement difficult and potentially arbitrary for law enforcement.

What is the most effective way to oppose firearms legislation in California?

Contacting your state legislators is the most effective method. It is recommended to reach out to them at their local district offices, as this often carries more weight than contacting their Sacramento offices.
