California Found a New Way to Infringe the Second Amendment - SB948

California Democrats are pushing a bill that would fundamentally change gun ownership in the state — and almost no one is talking about what it actually does.

For the first time in California history, this proposal would require mandatory state-approved training, including live-fire shooting and at least eight hours of instruction, just to BUY a firearm — not carry it, not use it, but to own it.

That’s not public safety. That’s a barrier.

This bill turns a constitutional right into an eight-hour obstacle course that only people with time, money, and flexibility can afford to complete. And the people hit hardest won’t be criminals — they’ll be law-abiding citizens, especially working-class Americans who already live in the most dangerous neighborhoods.

Meanwhile, criminals won’t comply. They never do.

This is how governments infringe without banning. They don’t say “no.” They say “jump.”

And once the government controls the training… They control the timeline. They control the cost. They control access.

If this were really about safety, the training would be free. It would be accessible. It would be encouraged — not weaponized.

This video breaks down:

• Why this bill is NOT about safety

• Who it actually hurts

• How California is using bureaucracy to restrict gun ownership

• The difference between responsible training and government coercion

Training should empower, not punish.

That’s the difference California refuses to acknowledge.
