Oh, let's look at that.

The current fee to get on the list is $200 per model per year.

Let's say there could be 10,000 guns. At $200 each, that's $2,000,000 - two million dollars. Not an amount I would disparage, myself.

Now, let's look at the California Budget for 2023-2024: https://ebudget.ca.gov/

The estimated resources (January) are 231,695,000,000. 231+ billion dollars.

Let's say we really need consider only the Department of Justice: https://ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2023-24/#/Department/0820

$1,237,697,000

One billion dollars.

Compared to two million.

The Roster has never been about money.
