Gov. Brown signs law requiring registration of homemade guns
The Los Angeles Times ^ | July 22, 2016 | John Myers

Californians who assemble their own weapons from parts they've bought or gathered will have to apply for a state-issued serial number under a law signed Friday by Gov. Jerry Brown.

Brown signed Assembly Bill 857, which imposes a new mandate on anyone who buys components that can be made into a fully functional firearm. Those weapons are not currently traceable in the same way as buying a fully operating firearm.

Democrats pushed through the bill last month as part of a sweeping package of proposals inspired by recent shootings. Several of those bills, including an effort to impose new rules on the purchase and use of ammunition, were signed by Brown earlier this month and are now the focus of an effort to overturn them by a statewide ballot referendum....

And, of course, all gang bangers, drug dealers and other assorted criminals will abide by the law, right, Moonbeam?

Moonbeam has to be locked up in a padded cell and wearing a strait-jacket so that he doesn’t hurt himself or anyone else.

Didn’t GM Guide Div. stamp out Liberty Guns (IIRC) during WWII that were dropped behind enemy lines?

Sure, you couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn unless you were standing right next to it, but I guess it worked.

Perhaps not. But they will educate our children and grandchildren that these laws have been on the books for decades and that only criminals would violate them.

I've warned my wife that there is not an insignificant chance that I will die in prison.

You only had to be able to press it against the chest of an armed enemy soldier and then take that soldier's weapon.

Today’s rail is different stuff. Alloyed to be wear resistant and difficult to deform.

But, don’t tell Jerry (flush it if it is:) Brown.

Loretta kept her Mexican name after marriage.

Today on LA TV news, she did an exact ‘channeling’ of Barbie Boxer.

Accent, incomprehension, confusion, illogic ...

My wife and I both said ‘channeling Boxer’ at the same time.

That isn’t what worries totalitarians. It’s not about guns. It’s about control. They want an accurate list when they are ready to try to take them away.

Last Month he refused to sign a Law that would make theft of a Firearm a Felony.

I guess it would have impacted his Voting Constituency.

Looking at the text - -

...owns a firearm that does not bear a serial number ...

This would include old .22s or other old guns from Grandpa or Dad, that did not ever have a SN.

When does Jerry or the Legislature ever sleep? Every morning I wake up closer to being a Felon than just 8 short hours previously.

Modify that - -

29181. Section 29180 does not apply to or affect any of the following:(b) A firearm made or assembled prior to December 16, 1968, that is not a handgun.(e) A firearm that is a curio or relic, or an antique firearm,

Hard to get through all the ‘text’ without confusion ...

Quick! Someone start posting links to sites that sell kits for this. I recall looking at one last year and deciding to wait a bit but I think I had best take the chance and purchase one or more kits before this insane “law” goes into effect and the companies will no longer sell or ship anymore!

This latest fuhrer order is aimed at:

Unfinished AR lowers

3D sprayers

They don’t care about zip guns and the like.
