SB-374 is the bill on Governor Brown's desk that would ban most centerfire hunting rifles that are semi-automatics in California. It is clear that this is another long slide down the slippery slope of gun confiscation. I say ban, because anyone who bothers to consider it can see that gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.
Here is a short list of additional rifles that will be required to be registered. The legal supply will be cut off. No more will be legally allowed into the state. Notice that attempts to appease those who push citizen disarmament by making it difficult for the rifle to take magazines of more than 3 or 4 rounds, such as the Browning BAR, were not enough to keep the rifle off the list.
These are only the examples that I thought of in a short time. I am sure that there are many that I am missing.
Browning BAR
Remington 740, 742, 750, 7400 rifles.
Some Remington model 8, or 81 rifles, many were modified to take detachable magazines.
Ruger 99/44
Winchester 1907
Bennelli R1
Kel-Tec SU-16
M1 carbine
M1A
Saiga rifles
Mini-14
Heckler & Koch HK-SL6, HK-SL7, HK-660, HK-770
Ljungman m/1942
Tokarev SVT-40, SVT-38
Jaeger AP70 in .32 acp
Nearly all semi-automatic rifles that use a simple tool to remove the magazine.
This was aimed at the so-called "bullet button" California legal rifles.
It appears that nearly all pistols with a threaded barrel are also banned. This includes such popular pistols as:
Many of the popular Ruger 22/45 series
Many Walther P-22 pistols
Many HK-USP pistols
Here is a Link to the existing California Assault Weapon Identification Guide.
Looking at the many useful and well made firearms that have already been essentially banned in that state shows that appeasement does not work.
Those who want to disarm the citizenry are not interested in stopping crime. Rifles are used in less than 3% of homicides. Hands and feet were used to kill twice as many. These people are not about reducing crime. They want to disarm anyone who does not answer to their orders.

Brown doesn’t want any resistance to his Reconquista.
Going to be a lot of folks leaving especially now that Proptop Jerry has ok'd DL's for illegal aliens.
won’t comply.
If you were smart, you would allow open carry or at least ease of CCW license. It's been proven time and again that those States that allow such, have the least crime. Guess what dummy? Criminals don't care about your laws, but they do think twice if they know someone else is holding.
This will continue as long as the people allow it.
How can they ban semi-auto pistols since the voters in cali turned down Prop 15 back in 1982? It would have banned the sale of all handguns in Cali.
This is a clear violation of the will of the people!
There is a super majority of Democrats in the Legislature this time and we now have this coming and already illegals are allowed to have Driver’s Lisc.
Also, residents who are not citizens have a bill on the Gov’s desk to allow them to serve on Jury duty
Would love to have one of the Tokarev rifles ... Leftafornia is doing the test run for the rest of the progressive thugs whom little barry bastard boy leads.
You already know this but I’ll write it anyway for lurkers. These laws are not aimed at reducing crime and criminals, they are aimed at controlling the law-abiding citizens.
As crazy as it sounds, stick around, the next step on the slippery slope will be illegals serving on juries. In California, that's not an if, but a when.
Everyone in California is eating this up with their yogurt spoon!
Sorry Jim, thought about moving?
California is run by three Counties, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Angeles. It harbors the hard core communists Democrats and the rest of the State can go to hell.
“The Rifleman” would not be legal in California.
11 shots with a 44/40, too much.
Likewise, won’t comply.
They may be available at fire-sale prices. Check GunBroker.com.
Absolute truth.
“No more will be legally allowed into the state.”
Keyword legally.
These idiots still don’t get it.
How did prohibition work out?
Eric Holder is Democrats poster boy arming the bad guys
This unlawful act does the same.
So this is Kalifornia under the nutcase Moonbeam Brown:
Illegal Aliens Have a Right to a Drivers License
Citizens Do Not Have a Right to Keep And Bear Arms
Did I get that right?
Right.
Saw on youtube the other day that someone is making a complete upper in 7.62x25 for the AR receivers. Now THAT intrigued me.
