More California Bullsh**

[HoneyBadger]

Email from the NRA-ILA:

On Thursday, January 14, California’s NRA-PVF “F”-rated Attorney General, Kamala Harris, announced her support of freshman Assemblymember David Chiu’s introduction of Assembly Bill 1663 in a press release. AB 1663 would expand the classification of “assault weapons” to include all detachable magazine semi-automatic rifles and any rifle that uses a “bullet button.¹” Gun owners who possess these firearms would be required to register them as “assault weapons” or face potential felony penalties, arrest, and confiscation of the firearm. AB 1663 will also ban the future sale of these firearms.

On the same day, NRA-PVF “F”-rated Assemblymembers Marc Levine and Phil Ting introduced a second anti-gun bill, Assembly Bill 1664. AB 1664 would ban the use of a “bullet button.”

The use of a “bullet button” currently keeps semi-automatics with detachable magazines from being classified as an “assault weapon.” In banning the use of a “bullet button” the possessor will now have possession of what California law considers an “assault weapon.” With this being said, the possessor will have to register that firearm as an “assault weapon” or face potential felony penalties, arrest, and confiscation of the firearm. AB 1664 will also ban the future sale of these firearms.




This HoneyBadger can't wait to move back to "free America".

Read that today as well. I left CA in 1997 and only come back when necessary.

I'll be heading out to California in March for about two months. That's about all I'll be able to handle of that place.

If you're coming my way, shoot me a PM.

I wonder how broad the detachable magazine aspect of that will go. Will it make "featureless* rifles" assault weapons? Hunting rifles that happen to have them? 10/22's?

The bullet button was born out of poorly written legislation so I wonder if it will go the other way this time and classify way more rifles as "assault weapons" than advertised. Only time will tell.

*For those of you who never lived in Cali I'll define a featureless build for you. If you had a fixed stock, no pistol grip, and a muzzle brake you could legally have a detachable magazine on AR's, AK's, etc.

Or this. The infamous "Butthole" stock.

We escaped California in the '70s. The place has changed so much in my lifetime that it's scary to think about how that can happen.

Will do.
