California's New Gun Laws for 2026

from Gun Owners Radio · host Gun Owners Radio

California's 2026 gun law changes are already reshaping what you can buy, how you can buy it, and how easily the state can jam up lawful owners with paperwork and "eligibility checks." We walk through what these bills actually do (and what the internet is overreacting to), then close with a major roster update that turns the "Glock sell-through" into a mirage for a lot of models. Then we talk to Stephanie Dilyard about the 7-Eleven assault in Oklahoma and the part nobody wants to admit out loud: you can do everything right in a life-or-death moment and still get punished after the fact by an employer's policy and liability instincts. In this episode: 00:38 Viral "tyranny" clip exposes how people misunderstand semi-automatic firearms and what the Second Amendment is actually for 15:50 AB 1263 accessory panic versus what the law is really trying to control with digital files and liability 27:11 SB 704 barrel rules treat parts like contraband and build toward ammo-style eligibility checks and reporting 34:53 AB 1078 brings three-in-30 back and adds CCW renewal traps like a hard 90-day reset and looming livescan requirements 53:49 Stephanie Dilyard tells the full story of the 7-Eleven attack and why her first fear afterward was losing her job 01:41:59 AB 1127 "Glock ban" collides with the CA roster and wipes out the promised July sell-through for many models 01:53:34 Another FN great episode of Stump My Nephew from @RidingShotgunWithCharlie 02:05:37 Pew Pew Crew pitch and why they want structured responses to YouTube comments instead of letting bad takes sit uncontested
