This is an example of unknowing owners potentially becoming accidental criminals. Hopefully Calguns outreach will help to further minimize this kind of thing.

I emailed him and told him to take down his post.

[TheCilician]

just take it from him, auction it for CGF, and take it out of the potential hands of idiot criminals.

12020. (a) Any person in this state who does any of the following
is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year
or in the state prison:

(2) Commencing January 1, 2000, manufactures or causes to be
manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or
exposes for sale, or who gives, or lends, any large-capacity
magazine.

Not illegal to purchase. However, doing so may make you an accessory to the crime of selling or offering for sale. This hasn't been legally tested, and I don't want to be the one to do it.

Buying is a part of transfering ownership.

[Fjold]

Buying is a part of transfering ownership.

The law doesn't say "transfer of ownership" it says:

....manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, or lends, any large-capacity magazine.

It's also not illegal to borrow or receive one as a gift. The law is written to penalize the person who imports or delivers magazines, not the person who receives them.

It's irrelevant because all that would need to happen is have them taken apart and called rebuild kits then it's perfectly legal......because you have preban mags you need to rebuild.
