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.

This gun may cause cancer if you live in California.
Good thing I don’t live in California..

I’m disappointed the law did not also require scissors manufacturers to warn folks against running with scissors.
Come on, California. You can do better.
Fine but “pamphlets” in Cauliphonya can give you cancer. Gun owners should throw them away immediately.
OK Califubar .... how about a law warning folks about the dangers of not owning a gun when one of the perps with a rich past criminal record your liberal DA or AG turns loose and wants to break into your house to rape your daughter or just have fun killing you.

““[increases] risk of death to someone in the household by suicide, homicide,”
So, if someone inside the gun owning household dies by a stabbing or a suicide by hanging or taking pills, is the gun to blame?
Is this law reasonably calculated to promote public safety or to harass lawful gun owners and dealers?
What th3y should warn them about I stead is how dangerous it is IF you forget to take our gun with you at all times, and congratulate them for choosing a fine firearm for self protection and for the protection of others who might find thems3lv3s being attacked by armed criminalsà
And just how the hell are they gonna enforce this? This law sounds like a loophole for the state to swoop in and remove the license to sell because some maggot falsely claims that they weren’t informed - the Supreme Court should strike this law down as an unnecessarily onerous condition for selling guns
Excellent point. I wouldn't put in past them to even set up straw man purchases to entrap gun dealers.
Agreed.
