Miller v. Bonta 9th Ckt "assault weapons": Held for Duncan result 1-26-24

Maybe, or maybe not. Depends on what the Order might say exactly, and what any subsequent stay might say exactly.

Scenarios like this are why I photographed all my AR's with Raddlocks on them when I registered them

And the photos should have been taken STRAIGHT ON to the button so it's not possible to perceive in the photo if the button is flush with the reciever or standing up 5/32"...

Seems like if another freedom week occurred, this would be basically limited to people removing BB's off of RAWS? Maybe converting a featureless rifle back to "normal"?

Whoa BBRAWS can finally remove the BBs? But we have to do this and send proof to DOJ or something?

Man the laws are so hard to keep up with sometimes...

Should i begin prepping some of my lowers to register for a new freedom week.

absolutely not, that was a hypothetical.

Is this a big win or a small win of FPC?

So, 120 day public notice period, 90 days to try again...looks like your AR can roam free for another 210 days, ~7 months. Hmmm....

And, the ammo-buy background check had about a 20% error rate.

Well done CA!

Well, it got Becerra able to fail up to a more prestigious Fed Gov position.

As I find myself saying way too regularly: competence is a rare commodity.

What benefit was there to register your gun as an assault weapon?

[PicantePeperoni]

What benefit was there to register your gun as an assault weapon?

Retaining the banned features with the caveat of having to deal with the AW restrictions. EX: having a pistol grip and bullet button at the range but never being able to stop along the route to and from the range or letting a minor touch it.

[Cartierusm]

Ah ok. So still have to have the bullet button?

[PicantePeperoni]

Ah ok. So still have to have the bullet button?

Yes, for those that were registered recently. I know of a few individuals that thought it was less hassle to do the registration than to move to featureless.

To each their own?

The firearm receiver is the serialized part.
Do you have a specific example of an AR with a serialized upper receiver and a non-serialized lower receiver?
Perhaps one of the 5.7 uppers?

I think if you were to go out of the AR realm, but stay shooting 5.56, a lot of Bullet button equipped guns have the bullet button located on a non-serialized lower. A Steyr Aug would be a great example of this. The bullet button is actually located on the stock (AR equivalent lower receiver), which houses the trigger grouping, magazine release, and bolt release. The "upper" is is the serialized part.

Probably not much. Diane Feinstein's new ban may take your AW away. I'm not sure, though, but going featureless maybe a better option.

[Cartierusm]

If you have all the evil features, i.e. a regular AR-15, but have the new patriot button that makes the mag not droppable without breaking the top. That gun is still legal right?

Yes.

You can use 11+ round mags with as many features as you want while being able to reload without having to disassemble the action.
26" overall length instead of 30" overall length.

[ar15barrels]

Yes.

For now.
Who knows what the state will come up with next...

At least with a registered AW, the guns are grandfathered in the configuration they are in during the registration.
My 2001 RAW's are free state rifles.
