Tracking the California bills that affect gun owners — what they do, when they take effect, and where they stand.
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 restrict consumer 3D printing in California — an approved-printer roster, and criminal liability for modifying your own printer's software. It cleared the suspense file and is moving. Here's what the bill does, where it stands, and why the opposition is organizing.
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.

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.
