A California lawmaker will push for a new tax on sales of semi-automatic firearms, with the proceeds going to support community violence prevention programs.

CA Gov Signs Bill Raising Gun Age To 21

In all, eight bills were advanced by the respective Senate and Assembly appropriations committees that would add new requirements to concealed carry licenses, expand the use of lifetime gun bans, make it easier to file so-called “red flag†firearm seizure orders, ration gun sales and strip gun rights from those under age 21. Making it past the fiscal deadline for proposed legislation, each now moves to the chamber floor.
CA Registration Data Breach
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 9/Jul/2018 12:40
From NRA-ILA:
Possibly even more concerning with DOJ’s online registration system were the reports of the system’s improper disclosure of personal information to other users. There have been confirmed reports of individuals attempting to register their firearms who were improperly given access to the account information associated with another individual, due to a complete breakdown of CA DOJ’s registration application system. In some cases, the system allowed users to see all the personal information (including home address, telephone number, email, and Driver’s License number) for another user and all the information that user had submitted for registering their firearms as “assault weaponsâ€â€”including the firearms make/model/serial number and all of the photos and attachments to the user’s registration application.
Court: Impossible Doesn’t Mean Unconstitutional
From NRA-ILA:
The majority of the court went further, though, and eliminated the possibility that its own rule could be applied to make the law inoperative in this or any other case: “Neither the text nor the purpose of the Act contemplates that a showing of impossibility can excuse compliance with the statutory requirement once the statute goes into effect,†adding that Section 3531 did “not authorize courts to independently carve out exceptions for impossibility†once the certification had been made.
Micro Stamping Law Upheld In California
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 29/Jun/2018 18:00
From Guns.com:
California’s high court on Thursday sided with the state in a long-running case brought by firearms industry groups who say the state’s microstamping requirement is unattainable.
“Impossibility can occasionally excuse noncompliance with a statute,†Justice Goodwin Liu said for the majority. “But impossibility does not authorize a court to go beyond interpreting a statute and simply invalidate it.â€
California Proposes Background Checks For Gun Parts
From Guns.com:
An Assembly bill now in the Senate would regulate “firearm precursor parts†sold in California through licensing, reporting and background checks.
The measure, AB 2383, passed the Democrat-controlled Assembly last month 45-29 and is currently working its way through the Senate. The proposal would mandate background checks on many of the components needed to build or repair firearms and regulate those who sell them through a licensing scheme. Supporters argue it will save lives.
California Turns Man Into Criminal With Registration, Confiscates Guns
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 14/Jun/2018 07:00
From NRA-ILA:
California residents attempting to comply with the Golden State’s ever-increasing swamp of firearms laws and regulations should take warning. According to a report out of Bakersfield, a good faith effort to obey the state’s labyrinthine firearm rules will not spare a gun owner in technical violation of the law from the wrath of the California Department of Justice.
The KGET report explained that during his attempt to comply with state law, Kirschenmann submitted photos of “an illegally modified†AR-15 to the California DOJ. This prompted an investigation by the DOJ that culminated in a raid of Kirschenmann’s home. Once inside the property, investigators allegedly discovered several unregistered “assault weapons,†a pair of suppressors, and what California terms a “multiburst trigger activator.â€
