Legislation threatening the privacy of California firearm owners will be heard next week. Assembly Bill 1743 is scheduled for a hearing before the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Tuesday, March 10, at 9:00 AM.
This bill would expand California’s already controversial firearm owner data-sharing practices by allowing broader access to personal information contained in the state’s firearm databases. Please use the Take Action button below to contact members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee and respectfully urge them to OPPOSE AB 1743.
AB 1743 would expand the state’s firearm owner data-sharing framework by increasing access to information maintained in California’s Automated Firearms System and related databases. Expanding this system raises significant concerns given California’s track record of protecting firearm owner data. In 2022, the California Department of Justice exposed the personal information of thousands of firearm owners and concealed carry permit holders in a widely reported data breach.
NRA-ILA will continue to keep you updated on this and other Second Amendment developments in California.
