Polymer80 build kits legality in CA- LAPD sting

[abinsinia]

CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF MOTION (KORETZ – KREKORIAN – O’FARRELL) relative to the use of “ghost guns”, weapons that are assembled from parts or kits that include one unfinished piece and have no serial number; and, establishing an Ordinance like that recently approved in the City of San Diego that prohibits buying, selling or possessing the frame of an unfinished gun unless it has a serial number essentially treating the unfinished part like a completed firearm, a violation that would be a misdemeanor.

Recommendations for Council action:


REQUEST the City Attorney to draft an Ordinance prohibiting the possession, purchase, sale, receipt and transportation of non-serialized, unfinished frames and unfinished receivers, and non-serialized firearms with the City.

REQUEST the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), with the assistance of the City Attorney as needed, to report back to Council in 14 days with current data on the impact of ghost guns in the City, including but not limited to the number of nonserialized firearms confiscated from individuals and recovered at crime scenes, as well as the number of cases, shootings and homicides in which non-serialized ghost guns were involved.

Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report. Community Impact Statement: None submitted

(Public Safety Committee has waived consideration of the above matter)

(Continued from Council meeting of August 25, 2021)

The vote Aug. 31 doesn't seen to enact anything. Was there another vote to enact something ?

While not booked, was he issued a citation to appear at a later date?…..If so, he could be in for a world of expensive hurt. Hopefully for him it is over, and he has learned that the Gestapo lurks deep within society, and seeks to erase all aspects of gun culture. Hopefully everyone else here has learned that these forums are indeed monitored by government agents, so act accordingly.

He was not issued a citation nor was given any paperwork or signed any papers. After the 3 hour hold + interrogation, he was simply escorted outside back to his vehicle and allowed to leave. From what he told me, the FTF transaction took place in a parking lot not far from the station. They were so close that one of the officers drove his car to the station, as opposed to it being towed.

IMO...

It could be local jurisdictions are jumping the gun and confiscating them, ahead of when they are legally allowed to do so and are gambling that...
1. people won't resist/question it.
2. if it gets challenged, by the time it works it's way through the Courts it will be a moot issue due to the CA precursor firearm laws being in effect (07-01-2022).

I posted a story yesterday about LAPD lying about the ghost gun numbers...
