By NRA-ILA Beginning July 1, 2019, all ammunition transactions in the state of California will be subject to a background check requirement. But in order to implement this requirement, the California Department of Justice (“DOJ”) must first adopt necessary regulations which, as of yesterday, have been submitted to the Office of Administrative Law (“OAL”) for […]
California is America’s gun control nirvana. It’s what all of the other anti-gun wannabe states aspire to be. The state gets a big A rating from Gabby Giffords’ civilian disarmament operation. Whether it’s red flag laws, magazine capacity limits, microstamping mandates, “safe storage” requirements or a ban on scary black rifles, the Golden State’s got […]
One million magazines. That’s how many standard capacity feeding devices Golden State residents bought during the one week when sales become legal in California recently. Reportedly a pallet of Magpul P-Mags for America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15, tallies up to 3,000 magazines. So a million magazines represents… a lot of pallets. In simpler terms, many […]

When Friday’s decision regarding California’s magazine ban was announced, it wasn’t quite clear how far the injunction went. But as the gun world has had time to digest the Duncan v. Becerra ruling, it became clear that Judge Benitez’s permanent injunction not only applied to Proposition 63 (which outlawed possession of standard capacity magazines), but […]
Yesterday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez ensures that California owners of magazines with a capacity of over ten rounds can keep them. At least for now. By way of background, selling so-called high capacity magazines had been banned in the state since the beginning of the century, but existing owners of standard capacity magazines […]
When you live in a “may issue” jurisdiction you may exercise one of your civil rights if and when government functionaries and bureaucrats deign to allow it. In the case of your right to armed self defense, you have to apply, on bended knee, and demonstrate that you have a need to protect yourself using […]
“Experts” confounded by an increase in gun ownership in California. It’s almost as if telling people they can’t have an item designed for self-defense makes them want it more. The California data measured against the national surveys show that while a smaller percentage of Californians own guns than the national average, the increase in ownership […]
In California, it’s possible to have a firearms purchase denied based on an un-adjudicated mental health hold. If that happens, the would-be buyer could lose his or her gun rights for five years under state law. Even after successfully appealing those decisions, some Californians still haven’t been able to restore their right to keep and […]
California had established a goal of confiscating 20,000 over three years under the new gun control law they enacted following Sandy Hook. They wanted to seize firearms from people who had become prohibited persons or had mental health problems. But California is having trouble hiring enough people to go out there and seize all those guns. […]
In the crime-free, gun-controlled utopia of California, guns available for sale to civilians are subject to something called the Unsafe Handgun Act. The law mandates that guns sold there have three features: 1) a magazine disconnect safety, 2) a loaded chamber indicator and…wait for it…3) microstamping capability. Gun models sold before the law was enacted […]
There are no more anti-gun academic research operations than Garen Wintemute’s UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program and Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health. For that reason, they’re among the most-quoted “authorities” for the mainstream media when it comes to the results of their research and bolstering the case against civilian firearm ownership. But […]
