California: Legislature Adjourns, More Anti-Gun Bills Head to Governor's Desk

The California Legislature adjourned its 2026 legislative session late last night, sending three additional anti-gun measures to Governor Newsom for consideration. Among them is AB 2047, a phantom regulation on 3D-printing that has drawn opposition from a broad coalition. 

Please use the Take Action button to contact Governor Newsom and call his office at (916) 445-2841, urging him to VETO the below listed measures:


Assembly Bill 2047 targets 3-dimmensional printers by restricting their sale or transfer unless equipped with so called “firearm blocking technology," a capability that 3D-printing professionals say does not exist and cannot be built. The bill represents a broad attack on lawful technology and raises concerns about free speech, innovation, and the rights of law-abiding Californians. These concerns extend well beyond firearm owners, drawing opposition from STEM educators, medical professionals, and technology experts.

Assembly Bill 1974, framed as a "voluntary" firearm storage measure, expands government involvement in the custody and disposition of lawfully owned firearms. AB 1974 creates another pathway through which law-abiding Californians may face administrative hurdles when seeking the return of their property. The bill's destruction of provisions and reliance on California's existing firearm-release bureaucracy raises concerns that firearms surrendered for temporary safekeeping could become difficult or costly to recover.

Assembly Bill 1753 "clarifies" California’s Gun Violence Restraining Order (GVRO) violation framework by explicitly subjecting ammunition possession to the same hearing and enforcement procedures currently applied to firearms. Red flag laws have repeatedly stripped law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights while undermining basic due process protections. Existing red flag laws in California should not be expanded under the guise of “clarification,” but repealed.

Additionally, as reported last week, SB 948, SB 1220, and AB 1743 remain pending the Governor's consideration. Continue to contact Governor Newsom and urge him to veto all anti-gun legislation. 

While the gavel may be down in Sacramento, the fight for you Second Amendment rights in California is far from over. Please stay tuned to your inbox and www.nraila.org for further updates.
