GOC Opposes AB 1078
AB 1078 (Rodriguez) restricts the number of firearms an individual can purchase to three a month and directly circumvents the ruling in Nguyen v. Bonta, which declared California’s one gun a month scheme unconstitutional.
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. This bill is a legislative rebuke to the ruling by Judge William Q. Hayes of the Southern California District Court who ruled "nothing in the text of the Second Amendment suggests that the Second Amendment right is limited to possession and acquisition of a single firearm, or that the acquisition of additional firearms is inherently subject to additional limitations—if anything, the usage of the term 'arms' in plural suggests the opposite."
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.
