Default Interpretations of CA-DOJ Memo (May 9, 2006)

Hi everybody,

The memo I'm referring to is posted May 9th, 2006 on the CA-DOJ website (http://www.ag.ca.gov/firearms/)...

Anyways, just a quick personal interpretation...

Paragraph 1: "... rather than reliance upon a scheme of identifying assault weapons by name. Therefore, the Department will not update the list of “series” assault weapons." --- This is self explanatory... the list will not be updated. So... no OLL manufacturer or model will be added to the list.

You say, "So?"...

Well, means that all the OLL lowers that everybody has been saving will be considered an illegal firearm once you start adding "evil" parts to create a firearm, assault weapon by definition of the law (ie pistol grip, detachable mag, folding stock, etc).

Just my 2 cents... what does everybody think?

I think it's a memo, not law. The law say's we're gold, otherwise DOJ would be busting people and FFLs left and right.

It appears to be a redundant bill! If the AG did his job, then the receivers would be "assault weapons"! Good grief.

Well, yes, according to the law, you would have built an illegal assault weapon, if you built a rifle with both an open magwell AND a pistol grip/flash hider/folding stock.

Thats why we build them with one or the other. Locked 10 round mag and evil features, or open magwell and no evil features.

As was stated before, memos hold no weight. We are all following the law, not some stupid memo. No one has ever been prosecuted for violation of a memo.
