GOC unequivocally believes that legislation that places any sort of limitation on how many firearms a responsible and lawful gun owner can buy will do absolutely nothing to curb the problem of criminal gun violence. Instead of pretending AB 1078 doesn’t conflict with recent case law, this bill flagrantly ignores the Nguyen v. Bonta decision, in which the Ninth Circuit held that “California’s monthly metering of firearm purchases meaningfully constrains the right to purchase and possess firearms and is thus presumptively unconstitutional.”

This bill also pertains to procedures for out of state individuals who want to apply for a California CCW, but GOC’s primary concerns pertain to the unconstitutional restriction of firearm purchases.
