Report: Deciphering California’s assault weapon ban list
guns.com ^ | 5/28/2015 | Chris Eger

Guns classified by the DOJ as “assault weapons” cannot be bought, sold or transferred in the state unless it is to a licensed dealer. Indeed, even those on the lists will eventually disappear as state law only allows for their dismantling, transfer to law enforcement, or out of state sale by their current owners, forbidding even inheritance to family members.

"... even those on the lists will eventually disappear...". Oh, ghost guns. So, hopefully this article will clear things up. Or not. And, let's not forget that kamala harris wants to run for boxcars senate seat. She's a real champion of banning "shoulder goes up thingys".

What’s this “Registered” crap?

Why do citizens put up w this?

First, don’t elect FASCISTS.
Second, fight FASCIST legislation as it’s being pushed.
Third, if it get signed, make a loud outcry that you’re not “registering” anything!
(oh...you may want to remain anonymous while you’re doing that)

There are some places that consistently violate the “infringed” part of the 2nd. I heard some guy say something on the radio about carrying “properly registered” guns concerning campus carry in NV. Well, duh, currently Clark County has some such BS but if the turncoat gov signs a bill waiting his signature, that will end. Otherwise, there are NO registration requirements in NV. Well, not yet anyway. How many supposed 2nd Amendment proponents think CCW is the correct way to go? Constitutional carry is the way to go but someone reminded me yesterday that it’s the $$$$ for CCW “trainers” that gets in the way. Plus it keeps a bunch of govt agency employees in a job.

That's easy - those are the gun that look SCARY!!!!!! to the Gun grabbers.

Ghost guns are the worst - not only they scary looking, but they float around like ghosts and stuff.

--agree with you completely--whenever regulations , etc., of any kind are to be abolished the following quote from Adam Smith applies--

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith,Wealth of Nations (Book I, Ch 10)

I’m just as confused after reading this as I was in 1986 when I lost my specifically named CAR15.

Say hello to my little ghostie!

No serial number, no registration and 100% California and Federal legal, It does however have a magazine lock (AKA "bullet button").

For my next trick, a "zero percent" receiver.

"... even those on the lists will eventually disappear...". Oh, ghost guns. So, hopefully this article will clear things up. Or not. And, let's not forget that kamala harris wants to run for boxcars senate seat. She's a real champion of banning "shoulder goes up thingys".

Like, for instance the Calico [CALifornia Instrument Company] M900 9mm pistols and SMGs with a fairly unique rotary helical magazine, which in the M900, held 50 or 100 rounds, a little better than most 9 Para buzzguns.

The State of California purchased a fairly large quantity of the 9mm guns for the California Department of Corrections prison system, which nicely put CALICO on the map, and they began work on a 5,56mm version the US military was interested in for testing as a possible M16/M4 replacement. Then the State of California declared the Calico 9mm and .22 rifles as *banned assault weapons* whereupon Calico moved out of state, and then informed the CA DOC that neither factory service nor spare parts would be made available for purchase by governmental weapons in California.

After all, if the California state weapons use such weapons to deprive citizens of their Second Amendment or other constitutional rights, that would be a felony, to which conduct Calico did not wish to be named as an accessory, either before or after the fact, since the penalties under federal law are more strict if a weapon is involved in such criminality.

Too, it can be said that since the State of California's actions deprived the US military of a potentially valuable newly developed weapon, and since American soldiers in the Afghan sandbox have died with jammed/overheated M4s found next to their bodies, it can also be said that the California politicians have given aid and comfort to the enemy that has resulted in the deaths of American troops.

And you know what the penalty for that is.

I had the Calico 9mm pistol and a 50 and 100 round magazine. I could not get either to reliably feed. Was never able to shoot clean through a magazine without fiddling with it.

I went through about a dozen magazines and came up with four that fed reliably in mine. Interestingly, several of my rejects worked just fine in another gun, and two of those that worked for me did not work in his. That may be one reason the California concentration camps needed the factory support so desperately, and I'm glad that they now don't get it.

I'd still like to see how that 5,56x45mm version progressed. And though I'd love to play with one of the .22 Long Rifle guns, I suspect that cherrypicking magazines would be required to get anything close to decent reliability. Maybe a Calico in .25 auto? Hmmm, say with a 6-or 10 shot burst selector....

Well, it is nice to know that I am not unlucky, and very nice to know that the California concentration camps that needed the factory support so desperately won’t get it. Rat Bastiges.
