This video discusses the significant legal challenge to California's Handgun Roster in the case of Boland v. Bonta. Attorney Steven Lieberman explains how the roster, initially designed to ban 'Saturday night specials,' evolved to include requirements like microstamping, magazine disconnects, and loaded chamber indicators. The case leverages the Supreme Court's Bruin decision to argue these requirements are unconstitutional, leading to a preliminary injunction that strikes down some, but not all, of the roster's restrictive features.
