It looks like they have some scary changes to the penal code. Even the rewording of punishing someone for possessing a .50 BMG has been changed to apply to all "assault weapons". You used to be exempt from those provisions if you were grandfathered, but now you are only exempt from the punishment, so the new rules may apply to grandfathered guns unless you register as an assault weapon.
The DROS fees are now indexed for inflation..
How come they didn't index AMT and other tax income limit from inflation?
You have to register weapons with magazines that "can be removed readily from the firearm with the use of a tool". There goes the bullet buttons on the guns (without registration).
We need a good lawyer to digest through this crap of changes to California that will definitely be implemented by the supermajority.

SB 47
---------------------------------
(b) For purposes of this section, “fixed magazine” means an ammunition feeding device contained in, or permanently attached to, a firearm in such a manner that the device cannot be removed without disassembly of the firearm action.
Any person who, from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2013, inclusive, lawfully possessed an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine, as defined in Section 30515, including those weapons with an ammunition feeding device that
can be removed readily from the firearm with the use of a tool, shall register the firearm before July 1, 2014, with the department pursuant to those procedures that the department may establish.
Existing law requires that any person who, within this state, possesses
any .50 BMG rifle except as otherwise provided, be punished by a fine of $1,000, imprisonment in a county jail for a period not to exceed one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
This bill would
exempt those provisions a person who possessed an assault weapon prior to July 1, 2014, if specified requirements are met.

Existing law requires that any person who, within this state, possesses
an assault weapon, except as otherwise provided, be punished as a felony or for a period not to exceed one year, in a county jail.
This bill would
exclude from those punishment a person who possessed an assault weapon under that provision prior to January 1, 2014, and until July 1, 2014, if specified requirements are met.
