California’s 11% Gun & Ammo Tax Challenge Is Moving Forward— Help Us Win!

When California enacted Assembly Bill 28 in 2024, it imposed an 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition—a thinly veiled attempt to penalize lawful citizens for exercising a fundamental right. As soon as the law passed, CRPA joined the fight, challenging the tax in court.

Challenging a tax is legally more complex than a straightforward constitutional challenge. The state threw every procedural hurdle imaginable in our way to protect this tax. The bureaucrats and gun-control politicians believe that if they make gun ownership more expensive, fewer people will exercise their rights.

We refused to back down. We fought, endured, and cleared all of the legal procedural obstacles the state threw at us. Now, the case challenging California’s 11% excise tax is back on track—and moving full speed ahead. CRPA, Michel & Associates, and our partners are fully committed to getting this tax struck down.

This tax is unfair, unconstitutional, and unlike any fee or levy imposed on other lawful activities. There’s no extra tax on voting, prescription drugs, or even printer ink. Taxing gun buyers under the guise of “fighting crime” is nothing more than an attempt to make gun ownership prohibitively expensive—because they simply don’t like guns.

We cannot do this alone. We need your support to turn back this assault on our Second Amendment rights. Every contribution helps us continue the fight in court and ensures we can hold California accountable for this overreach.
