Since August 1, 2026, California's DROP platform forces 500+ registered data brokers to delete your personal information — free, in one request, every 45 days, forever. For gun owners, whose home addresses have a way of ending up in the wrong databases, it's the highest-value hour you'll spend this month.
The $200 tax stamp is gone and a Texas judge just called NFA registration unconstitutional. It's the biggest shake-up to federal gun law in 90 years — and for Californians, suppressors are still a felony. Here's what actually changed, what didn't, and the one wrinkle nobody's talking about.
Buying or selling a used firearm between Californians? Every PPT runs through a licensed dealer — here's the whole process: the capped fees, the 10-day wait, the off-roster advantage, the family and C&R exemptions, and how to not get scammed.
AB 1974 (Stefani) would let law enforcement agencies run "voluntary" firearm storage programs — with eligibility checks on return and a destruction provision for firearms left unclaimed. It passed the Assembly 71–2 and sits on the Senate Third Reading File. The label isn't the part to watch; the return process is.
The U.S. Department of Justice has sued California challenging both the AB 1127 "Glock ban" and the Handgun Roster itself — the biggest legal threat the roster has ever faced. Also in this Roster Watch: eleven summer additions to the certified list, from NAA mini-revolvers to the SCC Cali pistols, dated from the DOJ's own list.
AB 1344 would create a county-level pilot program expanding red-flag-style firearm removal. Supporters call it a safety tool; the community's concern is due process — and the swatting scenario. Here's what's in the bill, what's unclear, and what to watch.
AB 2047 would require 3D printers sold in California to ship with "firearm blocking technology" — an approved-device model, plus liability for circumventing it. The Senate Appropriations Committee takes up its suspense file on Thursday, August 13, and AB 2047 is on it. Here's what the bill does, where it stands, and why the opposition runs well beyond 2A.
Since January 1, 2026, firearm parts ordered online must route through a licensed dealer — and SB 704 added barrels to the regulated list. Six months in, here's what actually changed at checkout, what the gray areas are, and where the legal challenges stand.
After the Ninth Circuit struck down one-gun-a-month, Sacramento answered with AB 1078: a 3-guns-per-30-days cap starting April 1, 2026, a longer list of ways to lose your CCW, non-resident attestation requirements, and fresh LiveScans on renewal. Here's the full breakdown.
Governor Newsom signed AB 1948 on June 30, 2026, extending California CCW licenses from two years to three. It takes effect January 1, 2027 — and until then, sheriffs are still issuing two-year permits. Here's what we know, what's unresolved, and what permit holders should do.
