CA assault weapon reg

[Ted_B]

They say in CA you have up until Jan 2018 to register a AR with the "features " is this true and/or is there any court case pending on weather or not this law is challenged?

It's true. Starting 1 Jan, 2017, the state's decreed that pretty much every semi-auto rifle is an "assault weapon" and has to be registered or permanently modified so the magazine is no longer detachable (the "bullet button" is not an approved mod any more). Zero chance of a challenge to this any time soon. Starting in 2019, you won't be able to buy ammo in the state without a special license either.


My advice is if you have any choice in the matter, stay away from CA.

This is not true, and needs to be corrected before it unnecessarily scares off potential AR-15 buyers/owners in California (i.e. this post is old but still spreading FUD).

Look, I know we all hate illogical gun laws, but if the state were banning all semi-automatic rifles with a detachable magazine, that would mean banning the M1A, the Mini-14, etc. California may be misguided, but these rifles remain legal, as this thread makes clear:

You can lawfully own an AR-15 in one of three ways in California:
1. Keep all the "assault weapon" features + keep bullet-button magazine release + register
2. Keep all the "assault weapon" features + install fixed magazine device (i.e. you must break open the action in order to reload)
3. Get rid of all the "assault weapon" features (i.e. no flash hider, no pistol grip, no adjustable/folding stock) + keep regular magazine release

We need more AR-15 enthusiasts in California to dispel myths, promote the platform, and educate our fellow Americans. Let's get it right!

First, those clowns in Sac introduced a bullet button thing few years ago, now they want us to register all stuff with stupid bullet button. Next - they are gonna confiscate it, I think, like in New York :-( . So, it was in Proposition 63 and 8 663 159 people voted for it

California used to allow active duty military stationed in California, but residents of other states, to bring non-compliant rifles in if they registered them ($75). One of my friends was renewing the registration on his rifle (I believe it was annual) and received a response back that his request to re-register was denied, and he had 30 days to remove the rifle from the state. He sent it to his brother in a different state.

I expect it to continue to deteriorate in California.

It gets dumber. You were supposed to be able to register starting 1/1/16. But the Web address kept crashing per my FFL. Plus, the implementation regs are apparently going to try to require bullet buttons to stay on. Except the law does not say that. In fact, bullet buttons have been deemed inconsequential to status as an AW. So I have 3x builds in various states of assembly which I cannot finish, since I am not sure if they require bullet buttons. Retarded!

Anyone know what's the deal with semi auto shotguns like a Vepr or Saiga 12? anyway to make it featureless? I'm not seeing it.

[Feline]

I still don't understand how free men tolerate being told what they can or can't own. Not very long ago, a lot of men died fighting a tyrant that tried to confiscate their arms. Food for thought.

[Eurodriver]

Do you apply that understanding to NFA weapons/devices as well, or do you just have your buddy machine you a DIAS for your AR and laugh at all those poor SOBs who paid $20k for a fully transferable machine gun?

Torched him!

A+++

Good luck to all California gun owners with Gavin Newsom as the governor. He openly declared that he will be even stricter than Jerry Brown with gun control especially after the Thousand Oaks shooting. Next up he will have 10/22’s labeled as an “assault rifle”...
