Frequently Asked Questions

What is California's AB 2847 bill?

AB 2847 is a California bill referred to as a 'backdoor handgun ban.' It proposes to alter microstamping requirements for handguns on the state's roster, but critically, it mandates that for every new handgun added, three existing ones must be removed, significantly limiting firearm options.

How does AB 2847 affect the California Handgun Roster?

AB 2847 aims to change microstamping rules but its primary impact is the 'one-in, three-out' policy. This means that adding a new handgun to the roster requires removing three currently approved models, drastically reducing the variety of handguns available for sale to the public.

What is microstamping in California firearms law?

Microstamping is a requirement in California law where firearms on the handgun roster must imprint a unique identifier onto spent casings. Currently, two such imprints are mandated, a feature claimed by the state as a safety mechanism, though its effectiveness and cost are debated.

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

It's termed a 'backdoor handgun ban' because, while it superficially addresses microstamping, its core mechanism is the 'one-in, three-out' rule. This rule is designed to systematically remove handguns from the approved roster, thereby banning their sale without directly prohibiting specific models.
