They don’t care if it’s workable or not. The less workable, the better. The goal is to make it dangerous to own legal firearms, for fear of accidentally going out of compliance. Folks will give up firearms ownership, rather than risk prison on some bizarre technical grounds. And don’t forget the sheer hassle factor, wherein guns will have to be periodically retested and reinspected etc. This cost (and time) will be laid upon the weary gun owner. Eventually, millions will just decide it ain’t worth the candle. That is the goal, not safety or catching real criminals.

Exactly. I know a guy who lives in the San Diego area, who had a large collection of AR-15s; different manufacturer, different configuration, caliber, etc. He sold them all, every last one, for fear of running afoul of the CA Ugly Gun Ban.

This guy is a former Naval Officer, with security clearances up the ying yang, and his son is a Cop! (well deputy sheriff I think).

Now he's got a large collection of double barreled shotguns... different manufacturers, different barrels, different locks, hammers, hammerless, etc. Sick, just sick. (He really enjoyed shooting the M1919A1 and M-2 Carbine belonging to a coworker of mine when he came to "consult" on a project we were working on in San Antonio.
