California Democrats are proposing new gun legislation that would replace the current one-time registration system with an annual registration requirement coupled with a fee paid to the state.
Bill SB 1160 would deposit the fees into a fund to finance the firearm registry program.
It would also make possession of an unregistered gun a punishable infraction, creating a new local program.
California already has stringent gun laws, rated #1 by Everytown for Gun Safety, such as waiting periods, registration, campus bans, magazine limits, and red flag/storage laws.
Despite these and a longstanding assault weapons ban and universal background checks, California led the nation in active shooter incidents in 2021, raising questions about the effectiveness of further restrictions.
The summary aims to concisely outline the key provisions and context of the proposed legislation.
