California’s latest push for stricter firearm restrictions is facing new hurdles. AB1127, widely known as the “Glock ban,” and AB1078, which would restrict residents to three firearm purchases per month, recently advanced from the Assembly to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Both bills were placed in the suspense file, meaning their financial impact will be reviewed before any further votes. While this doesn’t kill the bills outright, it puts them in legislative limbo. With California already facing major budget issues, the potential for costly lawsuits—which could stretch on for years—may weigh heavily on whether lawmakers allow these bills to move forward.

Another measure, SB74, which adds background checks for barrels, is also progressing and may face similar fiscal scrutiny.

Over the next two weeks, the fate of these bills will be decided. If they pass out of suspense, they’ll head to the Senate floor and potentially the governor’s desk. If not, they may stall indefinitely.

For gun owners, Second Amendment supporters, and California residents alike, the outcome of AB1127, AB1078, and SB74 could reshape the state’s gun laws and influence other states to follow suit.
