California: Anti-Gun Bills Advance, More Scheduled Next Week

Anti-gun legislation continues advancing in Sacramento. This week, the Senate Public Safety Committee advanced Assembly Bills 1743 and 1753, while postponing consideration of AB 1810, the FFL Killer Bill, until June 23. On that same day, the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear AB 2047, a proposal that converts 3-D printers into devices subject to government oversight.

Bills Scheduled for June 23:

Assembly Bill 1810, to be heard in Senate Public Safety Committee, expands the California DOJ's authority to remove licensed firearm dealers from the state's centralized list, including for certain licensing and inspection violations. It also mandates targeted annual inspections and could force otherwise lawful dealers out of business through burdensome regulatory requirements.  

Assembly Bill 2047, to be heard in Senate Judiciary Committee, targets 3-dimmensional printers by restricting their sale or transfer unless equipped with so called “firearm blueprint detection algorithms." The bill represents a broad attack on lawful technology and raises concerns about free speech, innovation, and the rights of law-abiding Californians. 

Bills Advanced by Senate Public Safety Committee:

Assembly Bill 1743 expands the state’s firearm owner data-sharing framework by increasing access to information maintained in California’s Automated Firearms System and related databases. Expanding this system raises significant concerns, given the California DOJ exposed the personal information of thousands of firearm owners and concealed carry permit holders in a widely reported 2022 data breach.

Assembly Bill 1753 “clarifies” California’s Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) violation framework by explicitly subjecting ammunition possession to the same hearing and enforcement procedures currently applied to firearms. Existing red flag laws in California should not be expanded under the guise of “clarification,” but repealed.
