Weapon permanently inoperable ???

[HKROB]

What does render the weapon permanently inoperable mean ??


12285(b)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), no assault weapon possessed pursuant to this section may be sold or transferred on or after January 1, 1990, to anyone within this state other than to a licensed gun dealer, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 12290, or as provided in Section 12288. Any person who (A) obtains title to an assault weapon registered under this section or that was possessed pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (f) of Section 12280 by bequest or intestate succession, or (B) lawfully possessed a firearm subsequently declared to be an assault weapon pursuant to Section 12276.5, or subsequently defined as an assault weapon pursuant to Section 12276.1, shall, within 90 days, render the weapon permanently inoperable, sell the weapon to a licensed gun dealer, obtain a permit from the Department of Justice in the same manner as specified in Article 3 (commencing with Section 12230) of Chapter 2, or remove the weapon from this state. A person who lawfully possessed a firearm that was subsequently declared to be an assault weapon pursuant to Section 12276.5 may alternatively register the firearm within 90 days of the declaration issued pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 12276.5.

whatever they deem necessary to make it so that an individual cannot make the gun functional again.

Basically making it so it never is able to be reverted to a firing weapon. Say welding the slide to the frame or welding the barrel to the slide to the hammer.

This tends to work...

OMG.

Basically anything that prevents the weapon from operating without a whole lot of work. Pinning/blocking the bolt and firing pin, welding a magazine stopper in place, etc.

Basically, if you can load a round in and it goes "boom", even if it can only do it once, it's still operable. Locking (this means PERMANENTLY locking) the bolt closed, removing the firing pin and sealing the pin seating will satisfy you just fine.

ATF says that 3 torch cuts that each remove a minimum of 1/4" material is sufficient to permanently de-mill any receiver.

That looks like an easy fix

That would definitely still be considered a firearm according to the BATFE.

3 torch cuts, each removing AT LEAST 1/4" of material.

Or in the case of aluminum 3 saw or plasma torch cuts. I'm sure that Colt could be fixed with a little JB weld.

Or in the case of aluminum 3 saw or plasma torch cuts.

ATF says torch with missing material. Sawcut wouldn't do the job unless maybe it's a dado blade.

I'm sure that Colt could be fixed with a little JB weld.

Easily... and it would probably work just fine.

...and here's you on the bottom, Kali DOJ on top. But, you'll kiss and make up later.

This is right if your destroying a weapon. However to make it inoperable one does not have to destroy it. Even plug welding the barrel would work.. in addition to all the other suggestions.

I am going to go with bdsmchs on this one. If its an AR style weapon, and you plug the barrel, all you have to do is switch the upper. As far as other weapons are concerned, the serial numbered part is what is considered the firearm, and thats almost always the reciever, so torching the reciever is probably the only legit way to do it.

That being said, if you are torching an AR lower, salvage the other parts first and get an OLL, and rebuild it with a BB.

What's up with that dude's leg?
