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....

I made the mistake of using Elmer’s glue.
Won’t do that a third time.

LOL. Gov. Moonbat is a really stupid human. And just made the case that the laws against the law abiding isn’t going to work. The criminals will always get their hands on guns, even if they have to make them.

And the Chinese let that particular genie out of the bottle almost a thousand years ago.

This new “law” goes into effect on January 1, 2017. All Californians have until then to take advantage of the Constitutionally protected RIGHT to build your own weapons. . . without a registered serial number. . . and to buy as much ammunition as you think you may need to feed it for now and the future before the unconstitutional background checks for buying ammunition and fees to pay for such background checks go into effect in three years.

What about the ones the criminals have filed the numbers off of? Should they re-stamp them and register them with Governor Moonbat?

I thought that *urd was on a months’ long vacation to Europe after signing the other gun bills this month or late last month...

“”Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris and Rep. Loretta Sanchez — it isn’t clear whether the national party will highlight one, both or neither woman.””

Is this writer nuts? Pass up a Mexican and a Black and not highlight them at the convention? How racist would that be?

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.

The Navy is working on rail guns. A simple concept really, and we seem to all hell bent on making batteries more powerful and lighter and more compact all in the name of global warming.

So, gun powder isn’t really needed when you get right down to it. Ferrous metals, copper and electrical power. More or less. And maybe a Raspberry Pi for a controller.

Liberals are so stupid on a great many things.

There’s a very interesting article in Volume 70, Issue 13 of Firearms News (formerly Shotgun News) about pouring AR-15 lower receivers from polymer resin. At least one of these has had more than 5,000 rounds fired through it.

Imagine for a moment that we are back in July of 1775. The militia surrounding occupied Boston have just lost the Battle of Bunker Hill. George Washington has been selected to command the rebels against the Regular Army of the King.

Further imagine that Paul Revere, a silversmith, reports to Washington that he has invented a new rifle which he calls the "AR-15", the "AR" standing for "American Revolution", and that his workmen have manufactured 10,000 of the rifles.

Would George Washington have said, "We can't use these rifles; they have no serial numbers on them."

Would Washington have said, "We can't use these rifles; they have pistol grips on them".

Would Washington have said, "We can't use these rifles; they have bayonet lugs on them".

Would Washington have said, "We can't use these rifles; they have flash suppresors on them".

Would Washington have said, "We can't use these rifles; they have folding stocks."

Would Washington have said, "We can't use these rifles; they have the ability to fire more than one round per second".

Would Washington have said, "We can't use these rifles; they have the ability to fire 20 rounds before reloading."

Or would Washington have said, "We give our thanks to our Creator to have used his wise servant Paul Revere in making available to us a weapon of sufficient power that we may reclaim Boston from a tyrant and establish a more perfect Union in these United States."

And years later, when reviewing the phrasing of the Second Amendment, would Washington warn his fellow Founders, "Be sure to outlaw the manufacture, possession, and use of the very weapons we used to win our freedom."

Or would he have said, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

"All Californians have until then to take advantage of the Constitutionally protected RIGHT to build your own weapons ... "

I believe that the law speaks of what is possessed after a certain date, regardless of when it was manufactured.

I have two friends who “assemble guns” for lack of a better term. Can’t think either of them will follow this law.

After the SS Grandcamp exploded, causing the Texas City Disaster, it has been all but impossible to find 34-0-0 in the Houston/Galveston area.

Well, gee, how are they going to show who has what based on anything???? Are they going to do a house to house search without warrants?
