CA Law Requires Gun Dealers to Warn Customers About Dangers of Guns

AWR Hawkins

A California law that went into effect January 1, 2025, requires licensed gun
dealers to warn customers about the alleged dangers of gun ownership.

USA Today reported the law, AB 1596, "requires firearm dealers to provide
consumers with a pamphlet covering the reasons for and risks of firearm
ownership."

Among the warnings, dealers are to make customers aware of the claim that gun
ownership "[increases] risk of death to someone in the household by suicide,
homicide, or unintentional injury."

Another law that went into effect in California on January 1, 2025, strengthens
a pre-existing law against buying more than one handgun in a month. The new law,
AB 1483, does this by "[removing] an exemption for private party transactions."

California was already the number one state for gun law strength, according Mike
Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety Everytown for Gun Safety.

California has universal background checks, an "assault weapons" ban, a "high
capacity" magazine ban, a 10-day waiting period on gun purchases, a red flag
law, gun registration requirements, a "good cause" requirement for concealed
carry permit issuance, a ban on carrying a gun on a college campus for
self-defense, a ban on K-12 teachers being armed on campus for classroom
defense, and a background check requirement for ammunition purchases, among
other controls.
