Calguns.net discussion threads on each of these bills are here:

AB 879, Gipson, 2019 - 'firearm precursor parts'

[God Bless America]

"these scrupulous bills"?

[Helmut]

Yeah...no. Be prepared for these to become law.

[foreppin916]

Gavin vetoing gun control? LOL. Will call tomorrow and do my part. But expect these to become law asap.

Totalitarian Marxists with EuroTrash Characteristics.

They own academia, law schools, the courts in the coastal states and unless the SCOTUS grows a pair all hope of salvaging this Republic is lost. So Very Sad - my forebears spilled their blood for a dream that has been destroyed in the last 75 years, I guess Stalin really won after all.

Greasy Gavin is not going to listen for one millisecond.

[jcwatchdog]

Let them push, at this point the only hope is they push too much.

Let them push, at this point the only hope is they push too much.

Unfortunately I think you are right.

For those calling concerning the expansion of GVROs (AB-61), I'd emphasize that the ACLU has opposed the bill since its inception and continues to oppose it. From the most recent Assembly Floor Analysis from 9/5:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB61

According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), ''The ACLU of California does not oppose gun control measures that regulate the acquisition or use of guns – so long as those regulations contribute to public safety and do not raise civil liberties issues. Additionally, we do not oppose laws that authorize protective orders to remove guns from people who pose a risk to themselves or others, provided there are nondiscriminatory criteria for defining people as dangerous, and a fair process for those affected to object and be heard by a court.

''AB 61, however, poses a significant threat to civil liberties by expanding the authorization to seek ex parte orders, with all the ensuing consequences, without an opportunity for the person to be heard or contest the matter.

''The statutory scheme creating the Gun Violence Restraining Order (Penal Code Sections 18100-18205) was established in 2014 (AB 1014, Skinner). Under this scheme a family member, or any law enforcement officer, who has reason to believe a person owns a gun and poses a significant danger to themselves or others, may petition the court for an ex parte order to prohibit the subject from possessing a gun for up to 21 days, at which time a hearing is held to determine whether to extend the order for to one year.

''An ex parte order means the person subject to the restraining order is not informed of the court proceeding and therefore has no opportunity to contest the allegations. We support the efforts to prevent gun violence, but we must balance that important goal with protection of civil liberties so we do not sacrifice one in an attempt to accomplish the other. We believe AB 1014 was crafted in order to properly strike that balance. By expanding the parties that could apply for such an ex parte restraining order to include all the parties listed above, many of whom lack the relationship or skills required to make an appropriate assessment, AB 61 upsets that balance and creates significant potential for civil rights violations.''

ACLU doesn't normally oppose gun control laws, however when they see other civil rights endangered they will oppose them, and I'd think that the mention of ACLU opposing it would carry more weight, and at least give Newsom an excusable reason to veto the law in the eyes of his voting base.

Yeah, but will the UCLU file a lawsuit after Newscum signs it? I highly doubt it.

[sfpcservice]

I see lawsuits filed before Gavin's signature is dry.... Seems like the only people doing well in the "gun debate" are the lawyers.

[USMCmatt]

Oh for ****s sake...so a grip would need a background check?

[deebix]

ITS OK GUYS! JUST FOLLOW THE LAW RIGHT?

I laugh at how anyone is surprised. Wait until they demand a public website of all gun owners in the state, because "OUR RIGHT TO SAFETY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR LITERAL RIGHTS."

God damn this state and government into the hell.

[tehDiceman]

Oh for ****s sake...so a grip would need a background check?

Pretty sure it's a lot less restrictive than that. You should read the synopsis of what is included, you might be surprised.

[BeAuMaN]

Yeah, but will the UCLU file a lawsuit after Newscum signs it? I highly doubt it.

Mainly its a talking point when you call in. Not sure if they would. If crpa filed they'd probably write an amicus. I imagine they'd wait for the right case to come along for someone who was charged by a school employee or coworker or whatever before filing a lawsuit.

Though I could totally be wrong.

Pre-cursor parts1) An unfinished receiver, including both a single part receiver and a multiple part receiver, such as a receiver in an AR-10- or AR-15-style firearm. An unfinished receiver includes a receiver tube, a molded or shaped polymer frame or receiver, a metallic casting, a metallic forging, and a receiver flat, such as a Kalashnikov-style weapons system, Kalashnikov-style receiver channel, or a Browning-style receiver side plate.
(2) An unfinished handgun frame.

So they are trying to regulate chunks of metal now.
