After AB 28 went into effect Monday, imposing an 11-percent excise tax on gun and ammunition purchases, the NRA and other groups sued in San Diego
A customer checks out a hand gun that is for sale and on display at SP firearms in Hempstead, New York in 2022.Last year, Human Options won a $100,000 grant to inform key people about gun violence restraining orders, or GVROs. Since then the agency has talked with police groups and held group meetings and launched a social media campaign to spread the GVRO word.
The named defendant in the lawsuit is Nicolas Maduros, the director of the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. “California’s firearms excise tax is a blatant and egregious attack on the rights of Californians and a calculated maneuver to dismantle the Second Amendment,” Randy Kozuch, executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement.
A receipt for the purchase made by Jaymes, a manager at Poway Weapons & Gear, showed she paid $57.27 in normal taxes and $82.42 in the new special tax on her purchase of nearly $800. The new law was authored by Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, D – Encino, chair of the Legislature’s Gun Violence Prevention Working Group. In a statement at the time the law was passed, Gabriel said the new tax would generate more than $150 million each year “to fund school safety and violence prevention programs, including initiatives to prevent school shootings, bolster firearm investigations, reduce retaliatory violence, and remove guns from domestic abusers.
