California DOJ Working on 60 Pages of ‘Assault Weapon’ Regulatory Changes Behind Closed Doors

California’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is working on 60 pages of regulatory changes for “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines behind closed doors. The California DOJ was forced to turn over documentation related to the changes because of public records request that the Firearms Policy Coalition and the California Rifle and Pistol Association made.

Guns.com obtained and then published the regulatory changes, which include a revamped online registration system to allow Californians to register their “assault weapons” prior to January 1, 2018, when California’s latest “assault weapons” ban takes effect. The Firearms Policy Coalition reports this ban requires registration of all “assault weapons” outfitted with “bullet buttons” for magazine release.

All they have to do is ban all semi-auto weapons and they fix AW’a and hi-cap mag issues. This is most of what these a-holes want anyway.

[MeganC]

Are they going to ban Pop-Tarts and pictures on Facebook?

[Pearls Before Swine]

They must be working to simplify and rationalize the regulations.

Nahhhh...

So this is the beginnings of the California Gestapo, and the roots of Fascism. Jack boots want to start breaking down doors and arresting people and confiscating property. Its time for the people to rise up against this type of Fascism.

Just put up a sign, everyone will comply. Right?

[Dogbert41]

Bill of Rights is really just a grocery list of suggestions from ancient slave-holding white men after all. ACLU is what counts.

[Secret Agent Man]

Fascism and socialism are cousins. They both disarm their citizens.

“to upload four clear digital photos of the firearm including of the magazine release,

I only had to register my stripped lower, why would I send them a photo of anything more?

[alephnull]

Wait until Christie is out in NJ. The next gov is likely to be a Dem. With the Dems controlling both houses the gun legislation Christie has been vetoing will all come back and pass and be signed.

We’re screwed. CA will look good by comparison. In many ways they already do. It may be difficult or impossible to get a CCW in some places in CA but it is impossible everywhere in NJ. The legislature has already passed much more restrictive bills that Christie shot down. They will become law under the next Gov.

Christie is no Conservative but he did keep NJ gun laws from getting worse.

Trump and the so called “Majority” Party of “Replicans” better get work on filling about 400 Federal judges and 2 more SCOTUS...

= = =

Because your stripped lower is not an AW, ... yet.

It is on the books at the DOJ, but is not an AW.

When you assemble it so that it meets the AW defn, then you take the pictures and register it as an AW, by 1 Jan 2018, I think. There is a deadline, and no more registration after that.

By taking the picture, you have defined your AW. I suspect any changes to it, i.e., a different upper, different stock, etc. will be a ‘different’ AW, not what you registered, and now an unregistered AW.

But the DOJ is busy orgazzing over all this, and making up all kinds of overreaching regulations to implement the new AW law, instead of a simple straight forward process.

That is what I have put together so far. I expect more regs, surprises, changes, and evisceration of the 2A.

[heshtesh]

They make it all a hassle in New York, I simplified it, no pistol no registration.

[vigilence]

Wasn’t it Connecticut where the State legislature not too long ago passed similar legislation and less than 1% of the estimated outlawed gun owners complied? At what point do people simply say “NO”, I will not comply. And who will enforce these laws? All of the LE people I know have said they will not enforce it and I live in California.

Everybody just go out and buy one of these:

That'll scare the bejeezus out of the wannabe tyrants.

[kiryandil]

If they get you to upload digital photos, in most of the instances they'll have a clear digital record of your location for a few years.

If I were a CA government Fascist, I'd make you do it every 2 years. :)

What did the girl say to the boy?

"Mommy told me with one of these, I can get all of those that I want." :)

The real fix is to move TF out of Kali.
