The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) has strongly criticized California’s new law, AB 1598, which requires firearms dealers to provide gun buyers with a pamphlet warning about the dangers of gun ownership.
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb has labeled the law as “legislative social bigotry.”
According to Gottlieb, this law is yet another attempt by anti-gun Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom to discourage Californians from exercising their constitutional right to bear arms.
“At what point do Californians tell lawmakers in Sacramento they’ve had enough of Democrats’ dishonest demagoguery?” Gottlieb asked.

Gottlieb pointed out the hypocrisy in targeting gun ownership while ignoring other common risks.
“Why not force car dealers to provide a pamphlet to each customer, telling them about the dangers of driving? Owning a car, especially in California, is more dangerous than owning a gun,” he argued.

He backed up his point with statistics, noting that in 2023, California saw 4,013 traffic fatalities compared to 3,208 gun-related deaths. Despite these numbers, car dealerships face no similar mandates.
Gottlieb emphasized that gun ownership is a constitutional right, while owning a car is not.
“All this proves Gavin Newsom and his Democrat colleagues aren’t really interested in saving lives. They’re interested in reducing gun ownership by discouraging people from buying guns, and forcing gun dealers to act as their surrogates in the process,” he said.
For pro-2A advocates, this law represents yet another example of legislative overreach aimed at stigmatizing gun ownership rather than addressing real issues of public safety.
At least that’s our take. What say you? Do you like California’s pamphlet mandate?

need a pamphlet telling of the dangers of democrat rule and have the cost come out of calif coffers
How many languages? What about the risks of voting for lunatic? Certainly could use a pamphlet on that.
Handing out subversive propaganda , are we ?
Typical commie stunt .
People living in the Republic of Kalifornistan are no doubt rethinking the way they have voted over the decades. My heart goes out to the folks that have lost their homes and family. There’s no telling how many people have died.
Gavin Newscum, that DEI fruitcake mayor, and the rest of the liberal dirtbags running the left coast should hold their heads in shame.
Californians voted their leaders in so they can vote’em out if they want to.
Gun dealers can put a recycle bin near the ‘pamphlets’ so buyers can drop ’em off on the way out the door.
Newsom isn’t smart enough to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the bottom of the heel!
This week an X contributor stated that Canada is already owned by the United States Corp, as if America owns that country. Reality: the Brits own Canada, lock, stock and barrel via their Crown Corp and the British Territorial U.S. Corporation, an incorporated entity that stole the identity of our country in order to appoint itself as USA government service provider. We Americans have been led to believe that entity is our actual government when in fact it is a subcontractor to our actual government. The Brits enacted the birth certificate regis-tration racket to claim all of us as subjects/citizens of their corporation posing as out government. Donald Trump fell for it and subjected himself to their 80 million statutes etc. He should have expatriated from the British Corporation that committed identity theft and declared himself an American State National long ago. If there is no harm, there is no crime. Your contributor states there’s no constitutional right to own a car! A car is your property and you have a right to take your property onto the road and travel without permission of any purported authority. Don’t kowtow. Walk and drive tall.
I’m sympathetic to California gun owners, and I think the pamphlet is pretty silly.
That said, the comparison between car related deaths and gun deaths that Gottlieb made is especially stupid. There are about 13.8 million cars in California and about 400,000 guns. The fact that cars killed only about 1,000 more people than guns did demonstrates it is safer to drive in California than to own a gun.
RIP, critical thinking.
THIS IS WHY CALIFORNIA IS BURNING
They cant put out fires let alone ANYTHING else. F–k em.
So they waste money printing up pamphlets instead of putting it to better use like having fire hydrants that actually have water pressure…
Now we need another trash can for the “pamphlet” we haven’t even seen yet…
True Kalifornistan Firearms owners will not be swayed by this. If somebody is deterred by this maybe they should first take an introductory class at their local range or Sportsmen’s club. If this still prevents somebody from making their 1st purchase, maybe that is better for the rest of us. It’s always the untrained or un-prepared that give the rest of us a Black Eye.
I find it hard to comment on this when the pamphlet in question wasn’t made available to read……
Don’t need to read it. Newsom X Guns = Bull$hit
