On Friday, August 29th, the California Senate and Assembly Appropriations Committees advanced several anti-gun bills that could receive floor votes as early as today. Please use the TAKE ACTION button below to contact your state legislator and urge them to oppose AB 1078, 1127, 1263 and SB 704!
Assembly Bill 1078 changes several provisions of firearm laws in California, but most notably would limit firearm purchases for California residents to three firearms per 30-day period. The California legislature previously passed a bill limiting purchases to one gun a month, which has since been found as unconstitutional by a U.S. District Court. AB 1078 is an effort to sidestep this ruling and to once again impose prohibitions on firearm purchases for law-abiding Californians.
Assembly Bill 1127 prohibits firearms dealers from selling certain semi-automatic pistols. While the stated intent is to restrict individuals from converting pistols into automatic “machine guns”, federal law already prohibits devices that convert semi-automatic firearms to fire automatically. AB 1127 is just another attempt to villainize certain categories of firearms to impose further gun bans in California.
Assembly Bill 1263 creates a new crime that prohibits an individual from knowingly or willfully causing another person to engage in the unlawful manufacture of firearms.
Senate Bill 704 would prohibit the sale or transfer of a firearm barrel unless it is processed through a licensed firearm dealer and the individual first undergoes a background check. SB 704 only impacts California’s law-abiding gun owners by subjecting them to additional administrative hurdles to access firearm components.
