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 thought it was ridiculous to make those Liberty guns in .45 ACP.
Common Euro calibers like 9mm or .380 would have made it easier to find more ammo.
Recoil less too.
“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?”
In a word, nope. Without registration there is no confiscation, and knocking on doors without probable cause or a warrant will touch off bloody insurrection.
The police can’t implore the public to support it against violent black militants (and I do support the police) yet say, “Now be good citizens and hand over your guns”.
So bring it, Moonbeam.
See the pretty lathe and mill...
They want to regulate, tax them and to know where they are.
I probably find 50 pipe pistols and rifles an hour on Fallout 4. Good thing it isn’t set in Commiefornia.
KEWL!
They meant the way she’s biiilt!
They came with 10 rounds IIRC. The idea being this was enough to allow the user to commandeer a better weapon from a German soldier.
Yes but the thing could have been passed on to somebody else. Also, the
most likely German arm they might have gotten would have been a rather non concealable fullsize bolt gun.
I wonder when they’ll require registration for bows and arrows and crossbows?
Those items can be just as deadly.
“I thought it was ridiculous to make those Liberty guns in .45 ACP.”
They were shipped with 10 rounds stored in the
butt. They were not intended for extended use.
They wanted an effective caliber. With only one shot, recoil was not much of a factor.
.45 ACP was available in mass quantities. .380 was not.
For years crossbows were forbidden as a hunting weapon until some old boy down in Huntsville, Arkansas began to push for legalization.
Now there are crossbows everywhere! I hand made my first back in 1963.
