Yesterday, August 13th, both the Assembly and Senate Appropriations Committees advanced a number of anti-Second Amendment bills. Among them are AB 2047, which further targets 3-D printing, and SB 948, which imposes yet another unconstitutional barrier on the right to keep and bear arms. These bills, and the others listed below, will now head to the floor where they will be eligible for a vote.

The following bills now head to the Senate Floor:
Assembly Bill 1743 expands the state’s firearm owner’s 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 California’s track record of protecting firearm owner data. In 2022, the California Department of Justice exposed the personal information of thousands of firearm owners and concealed carry permit holders in a widely reported 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. Red flag laws have repeatedly stripped law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights while undermining basic due process protections. Existing red flag laws in California should not be expanded under the guise of “clarification,” but repealed.
Assembly Bill 2047 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. These concerns are not just realized by firearm owners, but tens-of-thousands of STEM educators and technology professionals.
The following bills now head to the Assembly Floor:
Senate Bill 948 dramatically expands California’s Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) requirements by mandating a minimum four-hour training course beginning in 2028, including live-fire exercises and state-prescribed classroom instruction. Criminal misuse of firearms is not the result of insufficient government mandates, yet this bill imposes additional regulatory burdens on law-abiding citizens while doing nothing to address crime.
Senate Bill 1220 seeks to add a new firearm-prohibiting misdemeanor to California's list of offenses that trigger a 10-year firearm prohibition. Specifically, a person convicted of possessing, selling, transferring, or otherwise dealing with a firearm that has had its identifying marks or serial number altered. While existing law already makes it a misdemeanor to possess or transfer a firearm with such traits, this bill expands California's ever-growing list of misdemeanor offenses that can result in the loss of constitutional rights.
Additionally, Assembly Bill 1810 has been held in committee, marking the end of the FFL Killer Bill. AB 1810 would have expanded the California DOJ's authority to remove licensed firearm dealers from the state's centralized list, including certain licensing and inspection violations. It also mandated targeted annual inspections and could have forced otherwise lawful dealers out of business through burdensome regulatory requirements.
