Yes, that is what it looks like and where the snag is. The simple cure even though we do not want it, is do like they have done before with most guns laws and auto safety laws. “New ones from his date forward are required”. Everything prior is grandfathered. But in their insane radical extremism and appetite they ask for more than would be practical. They want that power of outlawing retroactively. They will use the heck out of that “in illegal possession” even though it was completely legal when it was acquired. It opens the door to sieze all your other completely legal firearms too. It is a trap...
And because it’s undocumented the DOM or receiver purchase for any particular receiver/frame is impossible to prove.
Indeed, they despise that sentence in the constitution that prohibits ex post facto laws.
Once again CA leading the way in gun draconian laws.
They’ll see how ca did the serial numbers and duplicate it.
Beauty is CA’s BS regs allow grandfathered ATF Complaint SN’s, which had zero oversight on how the SN was done.
CA requires by law new 80% get a sn from ca’s doj. Can be done online for 50 bucks iirc.
I don’t know anyone whose done it, but it’s there.
