overnight accidental felons in communistCalifornia

So what are we gonna do when they rule on the BB and it becomes illegal?

I think they've already gone on court record as saying it IS legal....so it would be pretty hard for them to change their opinion on that now.

No

I love the work Cal Guns does...and in the end their single greatest accomplishment will have been to re-open AR style purchases to California citizens via the Bullet Button..for a brief period of time...they stuck their foot in a closing window at the right time... and gave purchasers an opportunity to either buy their first 'weapon'...or flesh out and existing cache...that window is open today...but it will close...

Count on it

God bless you guys at Cal Guns...keep hammering away on the judicial battle front

Some of us see the ultimate writing on the wall...its undeniable in this rubes eye what is coming...given the pace of change we have seen in the last few years...

Just be prepared for whatever comes

Why are you even here spreading your defeatist crap anyways? The "pace of change" nationwide for several years now has been the expansion of gun rights. Where do I click to add to ignore list....

CA DOJ already has admitted in court that they are legal. Kinda a done deal - legal.

Great video, but what's it got to do with open carry as the Youtube title suggests?

[TwoAsoapbox]

What a great video. Where is the NRA?

The op is showing that bad laws get worse as time goes on if not stopped quickly.

That vid is old, try this one which is a little more current


I couldnt find the video on Matt and how a simple Myspace page cost $50,000 in legal bills.

More like 1999-2000

I still don't understand why an SKS with a detachable mag is treated any differently than an M1 Carbine

Because "SKS" sounds WAY MORE SCARY than M1. It even has more letters!

Don't even mention the word "Streetsweeper" or a kitten is sacrificed upon the alter of ignorance.

I always wondered why these laws were not challengable as being unconstitutional with regard to the USCONs prohibition on "retroactive law making"?

You are thinking of ex-post-facto, and that is not a prohibition on "retroactive lawmaking", it is a prohibition on prosecution for an act that was determined to be a crime after the act was committed.

IE: You possess a widget today and give it away.
Tomorrow, widgets are ruled illegal to possess.
Under ex-post-facto, you can not be prosecuted for possession of the widget because it was not a crime when you possessed it.

I'm mixed, but it I think continual registration would ultimately be preferable to BB's, though obviously not as ideal as a complete lack of infringement.

Good with bad.

RAW allows for a featured build, no BB, and high caps (subject to the same magazine laws as any modern gun).

RAW also requires transport in a locked container.
RAW also requires transport with specific destinations.

[jamesob]

Not only this, but only in California can it be made retroactive as well.

thats funny because everything passed in california can be retroactive exept the 2 term limits for governors, that seems to be ok

[TwoAsoapbox]

Cokebottle, please dont use the term "high cap." Thats an anti gun term popularized by the Brady Campaign and the media.

[Meplat]

No laws have changed since the .50BMG ban that could have turned someone into a felon "overnight"

The point is that even today an administrative change in interpretation could do just that.

[SwPx4]

Why don't these guys sign on to the pending lawsuit that CGF has going now?

Right. If it were an option, I think I would choose to register one or two weapons and the others would be featureless. Doubt any would have BB's.

"Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device" also happens to be a term codified in California's penal code.


Excuuuse me for not feeling like typing "Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device"
