Pursuant to Court Order, California Department of Justice Announces Reopening of the Bullet Button Assault Weapons Registration Period

[Librarian]

SACRAMENTO – In compliance with a federal court order, the California Department of Justice (DOJ) today announced that the period to register eligible assault weapons will reopen at 9 a.m. PST on January 13, 2022, and close at 9 a.m. PST on April 12, 2022. The timeframe to register these firearms originally ended on July 1, 2018. However, DOJ is reopening the registration window to comply with a federal judge’s order in March that requires the Department to accept applications from individuals who were unable to register their firearms during the original period due to technical issues with the registration website.

Let's see, March to September, a mere 6 months.

Excellent for some. N[Not for me I registered 8 80% ar pistols and rifles and 2 1911s. But not as AWS

It sounds like this would open AW Registration in general however. Not just BB conversions. If that's the case, wouldn't it make more since to just go straight AW and be done with it? Maybe it's time to buy that MG-42 I've been holding out on...

I doubt they will be willing to drop the BB requirement unless the courts order it, which they will not

[Neil McCauley]

Alrighty lets see how this applies to me

No! This registration is only for people that tried during the original
period and were not able to successfully register. Taking a recent purchase, turning it into an AW, and then trying to register it is self incrimination.

Hard pass just like all the other times. No thanks. Featureless still best option. They are simply trolling because hardly anyone registered before. For.. a .. reason. For those that entered and missed the window, good for you. You will be able to sell it some day.

Wow I was envisioning a bunch of 10-12 year olds lining up with their Daisy's.

"the period to register eligible assault weapons will reopen at 9 a.m. PST on January 13, 2022, and close at 9 a.m. PST on April 12, 2022."

So this is a three month / 90 day window?
Half of January
February
March
Half of April.

Not my Daisy's

When I was still in California I had one weapon, a Saiga-12 that I was trying to do the right thing and get it registered. Took all the pictures etc etc etc, waited waited, finally would look on the site and there would be a "you need to fix this" and resend pictures.

So I did, then they would come back and say "please check the box" which I had already done. This went on for over a year. Telling me to redo something that had already been done. The only redo that seemed valid was they wanted a "better" picture of the BB.

Finally gave up since we ended up moving and the first thing I did was remove that stupid BB. I hope everyone else has had better luck with the process. God love Arizona!

This is all waste of time and done similarly to the 2000 AW registration , which lets the Ca DOJ know what you have.

They already know what you have from the 4773s they aren't allowed to keep

They (CA DOJ) think that I have 9 BBRAWs. But, in reality, I do not have any, because none of my ARs have bullet buttons.
