Engraving an 80% lower with "Colt AR-15"

I absolutely disagree. Your method won't work though the courts because they'll rule you have no legal standing and throw your case out immediately. Nothing like a criminal case to force the courts to address the issue.

As several of us have said - including NRA's CA lawyer Chuck Michel, "we don't need no heroes." We've seen what amateur heroes have gotten us: open carry bans, busts for schoolzones,

There's also no guarantee that a CA court would see this the way you are.

A commercial discrimination suit, on the other hand, removes a bit of 'gun color'.

This is the same reason we don't have legal high capacity mags in this state. We know how to do it, but no one's willing to do it.

We know way more about doing it than you do. We have an effective way but it takes a bit of pre-instantiation legal work to 'paper' the process.

The way you're proposing will get shut down legislatively in around one cycle, just like UOC. And you'll have to start a legit armored car biz doing legit work, etc. If you screw up that and it becomes regarded as a 'sham' then a lot of people may risk getting into trouble.

The current status of the 2nd amendment in CA proves that taking the "safe way" is ineffective... no risk no reward. You aren't going to make a difference by playing it safe.

Court time is not internet time. It took decades for full civil rights to appear in the South and to get fixed at a measurable pace. To expect courts to change their stripes for RKBA and treat it at a completely different pace than every other matter is, well, highly unrealistic.
