TOMMY GUN HELP

[henry187oc]

Hey everyone. i have started my collection of firearms (history guns) for the past couple years. I say History because i am mostly into guns with significant history attraction.
i started with the guns of the west with a Colt 45, then a Henry repeating rifle, and beginning of this year i got a Winchester 97' replica (cant afford the real thing).

i have now moved on to the World Wars Era and got a Auto Ordnance 1911 pistol G.I. specs and the Thompson (tommy gun) semi auto.

with the new gun laws that passed and go effective on January of 2017, im kinda freaking out on whats going to happen or what i need to do with my tommy gun that i just purchased.???

Since it has the Grip under the receiver i have to register it as an Assault rife, but if i do what are the chances that they will TAKE IT AWAY?? also since i am buying it before the law goes in effect, am i allowed to keep the gun AS IS? not modify it like change the bullet button, grips, stock, etc??
any help or feed back would really help me sleep at night!

new firearm enthusiast and hopefully would like to keep it that way and not break any laws!

If it helps, I have had registered AW's (including a Tommy gun with the 50 round drum) for almost 30 years now and "they" haven't come for them (yet). If they are coming to take them, they are taking a VERY scenic route. Register it and enjoy it. (then get OUT of CA ASAP)

We have to wait for the implementing regulations to be issued to know anything for sure.

Guesstimate:
I believe you would be able to register your gun as an AW.
It may or may not need additional modifications.
Once registered, you won't be able to sell it in CA or pass it down to your CA resident children.
You can sell it to an AW dealer, sell it out of state or surrender it to the police.
At this time, door to door confiscation is not happening unless you are a prohibited person, but we do not know what the future will hold.

The implementing regulations should be out in October, but may be later than that.

Stay tuned to this channel, same time, same place, in the weeks and months ahead for the next exciting episodes of "How do these dumb new laws affect me?"
