Jesse Arregu\u00edn (D).<\/p>\n<p>SB 704 singles out firearm barrels among the many other parts of firearm, requiring a background check for any replacement barrel or aftermarket barrel upgrade purchase:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>Commencing on July 1, 2026, this bill would, except as specified, prohibit the sale or transfer of a firearm barrel, as defined, unless the transaction is completed in person by a licensed firearms dealer. The bill would require the licensed firearms dealer to conduct a background check of the purchaser or transferee and to record specified information pertaining to the transaction, including the date of the sale or transfer.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Moreover, SB 704 specifically outlines how the costs of performing background checks for barrels\u00a0<em>must be<\/em> handled, making clear that the legislation literally creates \u201ca new crime,\u201d albeit a misdemeanor, in the state California.<\/p>\n<p>Gun rights proponents have long warned that the Democrats\u2019 use of terminology like \u201cghost guns\u201d\u2013and the resulting regulation of said \u201cguns\u201d\u2013would lead to background checks for aftermarket firearm parts. State Sen.\u00a0Arregu\u00edn\u2019s legislation is doing just that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a9d-pre\">Additionally, the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) warns that with a background check, SB 704 would end online barrel sales via the requirement for face-to-face transactions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a9d-pre\">NAGR\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NatlGunRights\/status\/1917009722500387232\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">said<\/a>, \u201cWe have warned that this was always the end goal.
