SACRAMENTO – -(Ammoland.com)-  AB 2459 is the scariest bill we have seen all year, and that’s not a fact to be taken lightly as there are already bills to ban most semi-auto rifles, ration your gun purchases, and ban all magazines that could hold more than 10 rounds at one point in time.
AB 2459, authored by Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), could wipe out every single gun dealer in the state of California.
In essence, if this bill passes, they may not ever have to pass another anti-gun bill again. You simply won’t be able to legally buy another gun in California.
STOP THE LARGEST INFRINGEMENT EVER OF OUR RIGHTS
To start, AB 2459 will ban all home FFL dealers. There are hundreds of them in the state, and they may serve areas where a traditional brick and mortar store wouldn’t prosper.
Rural residents would be denied their right to defend themselves. They could not legally purchase a firearm unless they drove hours to a larger population area.
For traditional gun stores, the remaining two portions of the bill could drive them out of business.
- AB 2459 would then force all gun dealers to video record all areas of their store wherever firearms or ammunition are stored, displayed, carried, handled, sold, or transferred, including, but not limited to, counters, safes, vaults, cabinets, shelves, cases, and entryways.
- Adding to the Orwellian-ness, gun dealers will have to spend thousands of dollars on storing the high-quality data for up to 10 years on-site, turning each gun store that can afford it into a high capacity hard drive that most tech firms would be jealous of.
Assuming a gun dealer is still in business after the first two requirements, the last one will do them in.
- AB 2459 mandates a first in the world form of insurance– an unobtainable policy that covers the criminal acts of second, third and fourth parties using a firearm or ammunition from the store in question, even if the retailer is in fact the victim of the crime or if the gun or ammo was stolen from the store.
Although it may sound like the anti-gunners’ fantasy bill that will never become reality, it is literally being lobbied in the State Capitol right now. They are seriously pushing for it.

The California legislators and the citizens that elected them need to put there laws and money where their collective mouths are. In that California is presently and historically one of the biggest promoters of firearms and particularly the agrrandization of the misuse of guns, they need to absolutely outlaw any depictions of guns of any kind, BB or cannon or anywhere in between, or the use of same. I’m talking movies here. I know, first amendment and all that stuff, but if they are going to try to totally negate the 2nd amendment they should really start with the 1st.… Read more »
Not sure what it’s going to take to stop the California anti-gun juggernaught short of Federal intervention. I’ve lost count of the number of proposed new gun “control” measures and more seem to be added each week. It will soon be impossible to know what is or isn’t legal.
If this monster of a bill gets through then the gun owners of the state are finished the government will declare us all criminals and go after every single gun owner they can find..the idiot that is pushing this one has an extreme fear of guns he is another one that like Clinton thinks guns have some sort of life force and are able to move around by themselves, the guy is a total loon. If you go through and look at the ones that are pushing these anti gun bills you will see that 99.9% of them are demoncrats,… Read more »
THis ends one of two ways, either the left imports enough foreigners to replace the white wright wing population that won’t go along with them, or that population overthrows the existing government and drives out both the foreigners and leftists that brought them. Immigration is the ultimate government welfare program. They bring in third worlders, addict them to handouts, and then the people they vote for to continue the handouts will also ban the guns. Importing muslims will not help spread Rothbardian anarcho-capitalism, because they are bringing their totalitarian religion/philosophy/culture with them. Bringing in latin Americans is just bringing in… Read more »
By this logic all auto makers are responsible for the drunk , drug impaired drivers since they could make a vehicle that can not be operated impaired. They created a vehicle that is a weapon , that kills , maims , as a person with permanent injury from a drunk driver ,it’s the same logic. However it’s stupid logic as every business would be responsible for the actions of others with their products, and be out of business in few years. Stop chasing the manufacturers and start blaming the real problem , THE CRIMINAL. Sorry if they don’t have enough… Read more »
Hell, By the time this thing goes into effect there will be no guns left on the approved list.
Great update – thanks.
