Thinking about getting rid of my registered bb AR

[samrob77]

Sorry maybe I'm missing something, but why wouldn't you just keep it?

Such a great point to bring up. This is one of my major worries with my son, I have a decent collection and it’s tough for me to keep up with all the BS laws in place. I’m trying to teach him all the laws and what to watch for but it’s proving rather difficult these days because yep you guessed it, logic. I almost feel like it makes logical thinkers stupid trying to understand what’s legal and what isn’t. And teaching a kid to think like a stupid person to protect themselves feels very counter productive for the long game. So if you have kids it might not be the crazy thing and get rid of it. Or at the very least tag it with some links on it for where to go to get legal info. Makes me sad

Get rid of it, same with anything that might fall into similar category.

Guns your dead friend left in your safe that you're not sure of their history, self built ghost guns, etc.

Strip it down and wait for a gun buy back. Take the cash. Then buy a lower with a serial number. Get a Anderson lower. You just make some money.

What's there to think about? They can not possess it under any circumstances. So I believe the only option for them would be to turn it into law enforcement.

Just keep it. A new basic lower can be bought for what 90-120 bucks? Your biggest issue is the gun dies with you. make sure you specify that it cannot be inherited.

The point was, they wouldn't know that. Just a blank stripped lower in the safe, it isn't obvious that said lower has that restriction. How'd you like your kid to have to deal with the cops when they try to PPT a stripped lower, that DROS catches is an "assault weapon".
You can write down instructions that aren't technically part of a will, to leave to family. I have a whole document I keep with descriptions, (and values so if they want to sell they have a ballpark starting point), and some specifics about things like this. Which guns are antiques and can be transferred without FFL. Which ones that are 80%s that have funky rules. Stuff like that, I want my survivors to know what they can/can't do with them and why.

Since you're in SD, go here spend $50 for a lower, transfer everything over, boom new gun. Then sell or keep, do what you like on the new rifle. Hang AW lower in garage as art. You have options!

^^^I like it.

There are four options, and they have 90 days after taking title to choose:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN&sectionNum=30915

30915.
Any person who obtains title to an assault weapon registered under this article or that was possessed pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 30630 by bequest or intestate succession shall, within 90 days, do one or more of the following:
(a) Render the weapon permanently inoperable.
(b) Sell the weapon to a licensed gun dealer.
(c) Obtain a permit from the Department of Justice in the same manner as specified in Article 3 (commencing with Section 32650) of Chapter 6.
(d) Remove the weapon from this state.

This is all assuming that SCOTUS doesn't overturn the AW ban right? I mean we are waiting on NYSRPA case to be decided. Once they rule on that, then a lot of our over-reaching laws may be thrown to the wayside. Depends on how they rule but a lot of CA cases are on hold pending the NY decision.

So, as mentioned before, strip it, store it, and bide your time. Once the decision has been made, then you can re-assess.

Then the owner should make a note that this is a registered AW. I previously thought they would only have one option which is to surrender to law enforcement but it looks like they can also permanently destroy it, take it out of state, sell it to a licensed AW dealer, or obtain some permit. I would think the easier option would be to permanently destroy the lower per ATF guidelines.
